Photoconductmg film compositions based on cobalt (П) and nickel (П) octanoates doped by cationic and(or) anionic polymethine dyes are obtained. Their electric and photoconductive properties are investigated. Anomalous for semiconductor materials peculiarities of the photocurrent were observed in these composites. Effect of memory of preUminaiy illumination with light was observed in the obtained films. The scheme of non-equilibrium charge carriers photogeneration process in these compositions are suggested.
