“…As a continuation of our studies on the synthesis and characterization of iodine-doped metallophthalocyanines, we have obtained several of these compounds (Kubiak & Janczak, 1997;Kubiak & Razik, 1998;Janczak et al, 1999Janczak & Kubiak, 1999a,b,c). The I atoms in most iodine-doped metallophthalocyanines form linear chains of symmetrical If ions, which are usually disordered in the crystal (Marks, 1980;Ibers et al, 1982;Janczak et al, 1999a,b;Janczak & Kubiak, 1999a,b). The I atoms can also be bonded directly to the central metal ion, yielding mono-or diiodometallophthalocyanines (Ejsmont & Kubiak, 1997;Janczak & Kubiak, 1999c;Schweiger et al, 1998).…”
