Good semiconductor properties are exhibited by stable bridged metal complexes containing s‐tetrazine as an N‐donor ligand. Square‐planar metal complexes, for example, phthalocyaninatoruthenium(II) and 2,3‐naphthalocyaninatoiron(II), may be bridged. The structure of this hexcoordinated bridged polymer is indicated in formula 1.
The bridged complexes (Ia) and (Ic) are prepared by reaction of the monomeric phthalocyaninato‐ or naphthalocyaninatometal compounds with a small excess of s‐tetrazine at 70 ° or 50 °C in CHCl3 for one or two days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
