Electrocrystallization and X-ray structure of a new porphycene-based material, [Ni(OMPc)]2.5(BF4)2·C10H7Cl
Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation of Ni(OMP)(OMP = 2,3,6,7,12,13,16,17-octamethylporphycene) produces single crystals of the [Ni(OMP)]2.5(BF4)2·C10H7Cl material; the X-ray crystallographic study, IR and ESR results, and conductivity measurements are reported, and show that the material behaves as a conductive molecular crystal.
