Vacuum Deposition of Thin Films of Pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl Radical and Their Electronic Properties

Thin films of 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl radical (Cp5φ•; φ = C6H5) were obtained upon decomposition of decaphenylplumbocene [PbCp5φ2] in vacuo. Formation of the radical species was confi...
