Synthesis and Properties of Conducting Bridged Macrocyclic Metal Complexes

Abstract
The synthesis and the properties of polymeric phthalocyaninatometal complexes of the type shown in figure 1 are described. In addition to pyrazine (pyz) and 1, 4-diisocyanobenzene (dib) the cyano-group is used as a bridging ligand for the first time such leading to μ-cyanophthalocyaninatocobalt(III) (10). 10 shows a conductivity of 10−2 S · cm−1 (powder, compressed pellets) at room temperature without iodine-doping.
