Description

General description

Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II) is a powerful electron donor that is widely used as a dopant to prepare molecular semiconductors due to its low solid-state ionization energy (3.3 eV). The dopant improves charge injection and transport in electronic devices.

Application

Bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II) can be used as:

An n-type dopant to fabricate organic electronic materials such as copper phthalocyanine thin films.
A reducing agent to synthesize high-quality reduced graphene oxide thin films at room temperature.
A metal organic precursor for plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of cobalt.

Cation Effects on the Reduction of Colloidal ZnO Nanocrystals.

Carolyn N Valdez et al.

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 140(28), 8924-8933 (2018-06-20)

The effects of a variety of monatomic cations (H+, Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+, and Ca2+) and larger cations (decamethylcobaltocenium and tetrabutylammonium) on the reduction of colloidal ZnO nanocrystals (NCs) are described. Suspensions of "TOPO"-capped ZnO NCs in toluene/THF were treated
