Conducting films based on single-component molecular metals

abstract

We demonstrate that single component molecular metals can be used as conductive inks for printed electronics. The resistance is 0.3 k Omega sq(-1), in a Ni complex, which is one order of magnitude better than that of commercial carbon based conductive inks.
