Nickel complexes electrical conduction

A much smaller amount of work has been done with nickel complexes of dmt ligands since they are more difficult to crystallize. Some complexes have been assembled combining [Ni(dmf)2] with viologen-based cations for applications in electrical conductivity and dioxygen activation.10 3-1035... 

Nickel complexes with the dmid ligand are also less recognized in research. A conductivity as high as 10-2 Scm-1 was reached with (Et4N)o.i7[Ni(dmid)2].1036 (Bu4N)x[Ni(dmid)2] complexes have been studied by XPS and for applications in electrical switching and memory devices.1 7,1038... 

The eight-coordinate vanadium complex V(S2CMe)4 contains both dodecahedral and square prismatic eight-coordinate molecules in the same crystal.322 Of particular interest is the chain-like, mixed valence platinum complex [Pt2(S2CMe)4( i-I)]A, which displays unusual electrical properties metallic conduction between 300 and 340 K and semiconducting properties below 300 K,323 whereas the analogous nickel complex, [Ni2(S2CMe)4(p-I)]x is a semiconductor.324... 

The complex [perylene]2[Ni(mnt)2] showed the largest electrical conductivity among the nickel dithiolate complexes (a = 50 Q-1 cm-1 at room temperature on single crystals) but it has not yet been structurally characterized.2218,3219... 

Raman and Mossbauer studies.97 Thus the compounds are partially oxidized and should be more correctly expressed as [M(DPG)2KIs)o.2 with the nickel in a formal oxidation state of 2.20.97 The electrical conductivity in the Ni atom chain direction is 10-2 fi 1 cm-1, 105 times that of the unoxidized parent compound.97 98 The temperature dependence of the conductivity indicates that the compound is a semiconductor with AE = 0.19+0.01 eV. Table 3 indicates that changing the halide has little effect on the conductivity but that the Ni complex is more conducting than the Pd analogue. 

In the most important series of polymers of this type, the metallotetraphenylporphyrins, a metalloporphyrin ring bears four substituted phenylene groups X, as is shown in 7.19. The metals M in the structure are typically iron, cobalt, or nickel cations, and the substituents on the phenylene groups include -NH2, -NR2, and -OH. These polymers are generally insoluble. Some have been prepared by electro-oxidative polymerizations in the form of electroactive films on electrode surfaces.79 The cobalt-metallated polymer is of particular interest since it is an electrocatalyst for the reduction of dioxygen. Films of poly(trisbipyridine)-metal complexes also have interesting electrochemical properties, in particular electrochromism and electrical conductivity.78 The closely related polymer, poly(2-vinylpyridine), also forms metal complexes, for example with copper(II) chloride.80...

The previous kinetic model has allowed us to show that the electric effects observed on nickel oxide were linked to the migration of the nickel ions in the network. Such a phenomenon implies that these ions can temporarily be found in interstitial sites, favoring the creation of an activated complex electrically neutral and near the conduction band of the oxide this proximity then favors an election transfer, given ...
