A Soluble Equivalent of the Supramolecular, Quasi-One-Dimensional, Semiconducting Magnus' Green Salt

摘要: A soluble supramolecular, quasi-one-dimensional semiconducting complex comprising alternately stacked [Pt(NH2dmoc)4]2+ and [PtCl4]2- units, where dmoc denotes (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyl, has been synthesized characterized with various methods. In contrast to earlier enunciated expectations unlike nearly all other known derivatives, [Pt(NH2dmoc)4][PtCl4] showed the color of Magnus' green salt, [Pt(NH3)4][PtCl4], which is characteristic for linearly arranged platinum atoms considerable Pt−Pt interactions. The distance in was established be 3.1 from powder X-ray electron diffraction patterns. Similar found a semiconductor thermal activation energy 0.24 eV an electrical conductivity 1.6 × 10-7 S/cm at room temperature. Although salt virtually intractable, common organic solvents. Remarkably, strong evidence indicated that self-assembled plat...
