New low-dimensional molecular metals: single-crystal electrical conductivity of nickel phthalocyanine iodide.
Single crystals of NiPcI(1.0) (Pc = phthalocyanine), which are composed of one-dimensional stacks of (NiPc)(+0.33) molecules and chains of I(3)(-) molecules, exhibit metallic electrical conductivity in the stacking direction. At room temperature the mean free path of the carrier is 3.3 to 8.2 angstroms.
