Abstract

A new one-dimensional coordination polymer, [CuII(3-Py-CHO)]n (3-Py-CHO=3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde), consisting of an infinite copper(I)-iodide ladder chain and a pendant ligand, 3-Py-CHO, was prepared and structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis. This material shows semiconducting properties with a relatively small activation energy, as shown by impedance measurements. We also estimated the electrical conductivity from a current-voltage (I-V) curve measured from a single crystal of the coordination polymer.
