Abstract

AbstractWe report the preparation and X‐ray crystallographic characterization of the first crystalline homoatomic polymer chain, which is part of a semiconducting pyrroloperylene–iodine complex. The crystal structure contains infinite polyiodide I∞δ−. Interestingly, the structure of iodine within the insoluble, blue starch–iodine complex has long remained elusive, but has been speculated as having infinite chains of iodine. Close similarities in the low‐wavenumber Raman spectra of the title compound and starch–iodine point to such infinite polyiodide chains in the latter as well.
