Abstract:

A new semiconducting 3D coordination polymer, [Cu2Br2(ttz)] n (1), with an acceptor bridging ligand, 1,2,4,5-tetrazine (ttz), was synthesized. The complex shows large absorption bands extending to the near-IR region, indicating a small band gap in the coordination polymer. This complex shows higher conductivity than those of [CuBr(pyz)] n (2), including pyrazine (pyz) with a higher lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level. We performed density functional theory band calculations using the VASP program to understand the electronic states and conducting paths of the coordination polymer.
