Nanocrystalline Axially Bridged Iron Phthalocyanine Polymeric Conductor: (μ-Thiocyanato)(phthalocyaninato)iron(III)

Abstract

Skewered Iron(III) phthalocyanine conducting polymer can be constructed with the utilization of axial thiocyanato ligands ((μ-thiocyanato)(phthalocyaninato)iron(III)); (FeIII(Pc)(SCN)n) thereby creating additional avenues for electron transport through a linear SCN bridge, apart from the intermolecularπ-πorbital overlap between the Pc molecules. In this paper, we report on the conversion of bulkFeIII(Pc)(SCN)npolymeric organic conductor into crystalline nanostructures through horizontal vapor phase growth process. The needle-like nanostructures are deemed to provide more ordered and, thus, moreπ-πinteractive interskewerFeIII(Pc)(SCN)npolymer orientation, resulting in a twofold increase of its electrical conductivity per materials density unit.

Nanocrystalline Titania Coated Metakaolin and Rice Hull Ash Based Geopolymer Spheres for Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes in Wastewater

“…TiO 2 is deposited on the geopolymer sphere surface using Horizontal Vapor Growth Deposition (HVPG) technique. HVPG technique has been known to produce nanocrystalline semiconductors, including organic semiconductors, because it permits milder experimental conditions that preserves the integrity of the chemical structure 9 . Thus, TiO 2 deposited on GP surface by HVPG technique will make an environment-friendly material that is expected to have excellent photoactivity.…”

Nanocomposite Material Synthesized Via Horizontal Vapor Phase Growth Technique: Evaluation and Application Perspective

“…This technique offers some advantages like economical, reliable method, and less source material with high purity [22,23]. HVPG technique is also capable to create nanomaterials with various shapes such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanorods, and triangular nanomaterials [14,[24][25][26]. They were evaluated to investigate the structure, chemical composition, hardness, and morphological behavior of the nanocomposite material [27].…”
