Y. Tang et al., PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF POLYMERIC CONDUCTIVE NICKEL-COMPLEXES OF TETRATHIAFULVALENE TETRATHIOLATE LIGAND, Synthetic metals, 97(1), 1998, pp. 43-46
The preparation and properties of two series of polymers based on nick
el complexes of the tetrathiafulvalene tetrathiolate (ttftt) of stoich
iometry [ (Ni-ttftt)M-x](n) (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Hg; x = 0.9, 1.1, 1.0
, 1.0, 0.8) and [ (Ni-ttftt) Ln(y)](n) (Ln = La, Sm, Eu; y = 0.7; Ln =
Gd, TD, Er; y= 0.6) are described. The insoluble amorphous polymer co
mplexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG-
DTA techniques, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and conductivity meas
urements. As compacted pellets, these complexes behave as semiconducto
rs at 25 degrees C. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved
