Molecular electronically doped

Properties of representative conducting polymers. Doped conjugated polymers have generated substantial interest in view of possible applications such as lightweight batteries, antistatic equipment, and microelectronics to speculative concepts such as molecular electronic devices.37-38 These polymers include doped polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole, and other polyheterocycles (Figure 5). While the conduction mechanism of metals and inorganic semiconductors is well understood and utilized in microelectronics, this is not true to the same... 

An interesting case of a Jahn-Teller distorted hexacoordinate copper(II) complex is shown in Figure 12.3. Here, the elongation along the O—Cu—O axis leads to a loss of delocalization within the hfacac ligand skeleton. Clearly, the simple electronically doped molecular mechanics model will not be able to predict this additional distortion within the organic part of the molecule. 

So far in addition to uncharged metal clusters, charged species have also been present. Prototypes of the latter are the alkali metal ion clusters which can be formed in zeolites by exposure to high-energy radiation, by alkali metal doping or by introduction of molecular electron donors [ 109,134]. These seemingly very different procedures can be brought down to the common denominator of dis-... 

Dopant anions within the ICP coated onto a textile surface can play a dual role in that it can assist in substrate attachment and simultaneously provide molecular level doping to ensure electronic conductivity.
