Electric and magnetic properties of cobalt, copper and nickel organometallic complexes for molecular wires

This research aims at the electric and magnetic characterization of specific organometallic complexes for the purpose of using them as molecular wires confined in specific channels that can find applications in electronic systems. The hybrid inorganic-organic materials are organometallic complexes from different ligands (2-amino-6- (tert-butyl)-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile, Propanedinitrile, 2-[(3-chlorophenyl)methylene and 1H-lsoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, 2-[(1Hindol-3-ylmethy lene)aminol) with different metal ions cobalt, copper and nickel, respectively. These compounds are synthesized and characterized chemically, electrically and magnetically in correlation to systematic changes of functional groups in order to tailor-for-the-purpose the electronic and magnetic behavior of these complexes.
