Electrical properties of iodine-doped materials comprised of (phthalocyaninato)iron and azopyridines

The preparation and electrical properties of iodine-doped phthalocyaninatoiron polymers [Fe(Pc)L]Iyn and[Fe(Pcb)L]Iyn Pc = phthalocyaninato, Pcb = tetra-tert-butylphthalocyaninato, L = 4,4′-azopyridine(4,4′-APy) and octafluoro-4,4′-azopyridine (4,4′-FAPy) were investigated The stoichiometry of polymer complexes was determined by TG/DTA. The iodine-doped [Fe(Pc)(4,4′-APy)]Iyn complexes were semiconducting materials in the range of 10−4 to 10−10S/cm.
