Abstract
The chemical, structural, optical and electrical conductivity characteristics of the cofacially joined metallophthalocyanine polymer [Si(Pc)O]n are probed in response to incremental doping by organic (dichlorodicyanoquinone) and inorganic (NO+BF4 −, NO+PF6 −) oxidants of greatly differing structural and electronic characteristics. The achievable degree of partial oxidation, the homogeneity of the doping process, and the macroscopic mechanism of charge transport appear to be remarkably similar.
