One‐Dimensional Inorganic Complexes

Synthesis and structure of solution-stable one-dimensional palladium wires

“…blues [7][8][9][10][11][12] , or closed-shell 1-D stacks organized by metallophilic interactions that are typically not considered formal metal-metal bonds 13,14 . There are a few examples of infinite 1-D chains in the solid state with metal-metal bonds, one of the oldest being the family of partially-oxidized tetracyanoplatinates-Krogmann salts-formed by bulk oxidation of crystalline samples of Pt(II) complexes 15 .…”

TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2: From single-crystals to thin layers, nanowires, and nanoparticles

“…sulfur atoms on the molecule periphery, satisfy the criteria (see Section 2) required for generating conductive properties [16]. In addition, a few years later, Hoffmann et al reported…”

“…The selection of molecules as potential candidates for obtaining stable metallic molecular conductors is based on the characteristics determined in studies of previously isolated systems [13,16]: (i) planar molecules with -conjugated orbitals favor molecular stacking and the formation of a conduction path, (ii) extending the -conjugated system increases the stability of the conduction path, (iii) chalcogen substitution of Se for S increases the molecular interactions both along the stacks and through lateral contacts, and (iv) bands derived from molecular stacking should be partially filled to generate conductivity (Fig. 3).…”

Supramolecular Assembly of Diplatinum Species through Weak PtII⋅⋅⋅PtII Intermolecular Interactions: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study

“…This weak metal-metal interaction can result in columnar stacks formed by one-dimensional chains of aligned coordination complexes (Scheme 1). [5] The linear structures formed by the stacking of squareplanar monomer complexes have shown interesting properties. For example, tetracyanoplatinates, K 2 Pt(CN) 4 X 0.3 ·n H 2 O (X = Cl, Br, n = 3), commonly called KCPs, were one of the first examples showing electrical conductivity.…”
