1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

The study involved synthesizing Co(II), Zn(II), and Ni(II) phthalocyanines via cyclotetramerization of a precursor compound in dry DMF under nitrogen atmosphere. Characterization was done using elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, MALDI-TOF mass, and 1H-NMR spectrometry. Electrical measurements (DC and AC conductivity, impedance spectra) were performed on thin films over a temperature range of 293-523 K and frequencies of 40-100 kHz in vacuum and dark conditions. DFT and TD-DFT calculations were used for theoretical analysis.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

Samples were synthesized compounds 4, 5, and 6 (MPcs). Data sources include experimental measurements and computational simulations.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

Equipment includes CHNS-932 Elemental Analyzer (LECO), Agilent-NMR-vnmrs 600 spectrometer, VARIAN-INNOVA-400 MHz NMR, Perkin-Elmer lambda 35 spectrophotometer, Perkin Elmer Spectrum FT-IR Spectrophotometer, Voyager-DETM PRO MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems), Keithley model 6417B electrometer, Keithley model 3330 LCZ meter, Interdigital Transducer (IDT) with gold electrodes. Materials include DMF, DMSO, metal salts (Co(OAc)2·2H2O, Zn(OAc)2·4H2O, Ni(OAc)2·4H2O), and solvents like acetonitrile, hexane.

4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

Synthesis involved refluxing precursor with metal salts, purification by washing, and film preparation by dropping solutions onto IDT and evaporating solvent. Electrical measurements were done in a vacuum chamber with controlled temperature and frequency sweeps.

5：Data Analysis Methods:

Data analysis included calculating DC conductivity from I-V curves, AC conductivity using power law, activation energies from Arrhenius plots, and impedance analysis using Cole-Cole plots. Computational data were analyzed using Gaussian09, Gaussview5.0, and Spartan08 software with DFT and TD-DFT methods.
