Rational synthesis of unidimensional mixed valence solids. Structural, spectral, and electrical studies of charge distribution and transport in partially oxidized nickel and palladium bisdiphenylglyoximates

This paper presents a detailed study of solid state structure, oxidation state, and electron transport in Ni(dpg)2I and Pd(dpg)2I, dpg = diphenylglyoximato. The crystal structure of Ni(dpg)2I has been studied by x-ray diffraction at 23 and -160 C.
