Abstract
The reaction between Cu(II) and acetylenedicarboxylate at 5 degreesC produc es large blue crystals, with a linear chain structure, having the compositi on [Cu((O)2CC drop CCO2)(H2O)(3)]. The compound decomposes thermally: provi ding a black phase consisting of carbon and copper. This phase, when doped with iodine, becomes conducting with a maximum conductivity of 0.9 S/cm. A study involving structure, magnetic susceptibility, ESR, and de conductivit y shows that conduction in this material is most likely due to the formatio n of cuprous iodide.
