Electrophysical properties of polymers based on Ni(II) complexes

Thin-layer organometallic films synthesized from the monomer NiSalen] have been studied. The presence of the oxidized and reduced forms of a redox polymer has been established by cyclic voltammetry and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The temperature-frequency dispersion of dielectric characteristics has been discovered, and the possible mechanisms of relaxation polarization in polyNiSalen] on solid supports have been considered. Based on the temperature-frequency dependences of conductivity, the energy of the thermal activation of electrical conductivity is determined. The feasibility of the hopping mechanism of charge transfer in the polymer under study is discussed.
