Electronic conductivity of mechanochemically synthesized nanocrystalline Ag1−x Cu x I system using DC polarization technique

A study of electronic conductivity using the DC polarization technique has been carried out for AgI and Ag_1−x Cu _x I (where x=0.05, 0.15, 0.25) solid solutions over a range of temperatures from 300 K to 473 K. A diode-like current-voltage characteristics arises from microscopic p-n junctions an enhanced electronic conductivity of the order of 10⁻³A is observed for undoped AgI and Cu-doped AgI. Activation energies (E _a) for electronic conductivity obtained from log σ (Ω⁻¹ cm⁻¹) vs. 1000/T (K⁻¹) were 0.48, 0.6, 0.74 and 1.01 eV for AgI, Ag_0.95Cu_0.05I, Ag_0.85Cu_0.15I and Ag_0.75Cu_0.25I solid solutions respectively. The near-twofold increase in activation energy (1.01 eV) observed upon 25% Cu doping is due to the substantial concentration of current carriers/holes injected by Cu while replacing Ag⁺ in AgI.

Crystal Structure of Dimeric Cu(II) Complex {μ,μ'‐acetato O,O bis [N‐salicylidene‐2‐amino‐pyridine‐methanolato N,N,O]} : perchlorate

The crystal structure of the title complex has been solved using X‐ray diffraction data.The compound crystallizes from aqueous ethanol solvent in the triclinic system, space group P‐1, with unit cell parameters: a = 8.9532(1), b = 12.7423(3), c = 14.9012(3) Å, α = 73.767(1), β = 75.322(1), γ = 77.496(1)°, Z = 2, V = 1559.4(5) ų. The trial structure was determined by automated Patterson methods and subsequent difference Fourier techniques using DIRDIF98 and refined to a final R‐factor of 0.064. The copper ion Cu1 adopts a (4+1) square‐pyramidal geometry defined by the tridentate N‐salicylidimine dianions and the neutral monodentate pyridine ligand in the basal plane. The apical position is occupied by a solvent methanol molecule at a distance of 2.341(4) Å. The copper Cu2 adopts a square‐planar geometry.
