Abstract

Multi-metallic inorganic alloy materials have attracted great attention recently. Additionally, molecule-based materials have wide designability in terms of their structures and electronic states. These are two different ideas. Here, we report the mixing of Pd(III) and Au(III) ions into a bromide-bridged molecular chain compound [Ni(chxn)2Br]Br2 (chxn: 1R,2R-diaminocyclo-hexane) to form an average formula of [Ni0.853Pd0.142Au0.005(chxn)2Br]Br2, which was synthesized by an electrochemical oxidation method. This trimetallic material is revealed to be a MottHubbard state semiconductor with a one-dimensional electronic system like that of [Ni(chxn)2Br]Br2, whereas it shows a smaller activation energy for conductivity than that of pristine [Ni(chxn)2Br]Br2. This work represents a fusion of the concepts of multi-metallic and molecule-based materials using a 1D compound.
