Small-Ring Metallomacrocycles

The first report of high conductivity with small-ring metallomacrocycle is found in the study of the iodine oxidation products of metallooctaethylporphyrins, M(oep)134. Iodine oxidation of Ni(oep), Cu(oep), and H2(oep) yields polycrystalline materials with a range of stoichiometries. Resonance Raman spectroscopy indicates that the iodine occurs as the polyiodide IJ species, and thus the materials present an interesting contrast with the large-ring M(L)IX compounds, where, to date, iodine occurs only as the I3 anion.
