Novel polymeric complexes of rhodium(I)-cobalt(II) and 4,4′-diisocyanobiphenyl with good electrical conductivity

The synthesis, spectroscopic analysis and unit cell dimensions of a novel mixed metal cobalt(II)-rhodium(I) organometallic polymer containing 4,4′-diisocyanobiphenyl and thiocyanide ligands are reported. The electrical resistivity of the polymer was found to be dependent upon the percentage of Co(II...

Summary:The synthesis, spectroscopic analysis and unit cell dimensions of a novel mixed metal cobalt(II)-rhodium(I) organometallic polymer containing 4,4′-diisocyanobiphenyl and thiocyanide ligands are reported. The electrical resistivity of the polymer was found to be dependent upon the percentage of Co(II) (by mass) incorporated into the product and reaches a limiting value of 200 Ω cm. Preliminary trials indicate that this type of material may be potentially useful as electrodes in glycol/air fuel cells.
