Abstract

Ag(I) is used to form a π-stacked metal-org. solid that exhibits remarkably high elec. cond. The solid undergoes a single-crystal-to-single-crystal [2+2] photodimerization to generate a 1D coordination polymer with over 40% higher cond. The Ag(I) complex represents the first example of an increase in cond. resulting from a [2+2] photodimerization. D. of states calcns. show a higher contribution from Ag(I) ions to the valence band in the photodimerized solid, supporting the increase in cond. [on SciFinder(R)]
