摘要: This paper reports that a charge-transfer salt dibutylammonium bis-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane [DBA (TCNQ)2] has been prepared. The temperature dependences of the DC electrical conductivity of the DBA (TCNQ)2 single crystal measured along the crystallographic a, b, and c axes are reported. The crystal shows semiconducting behaviour and the room-temperature conductivities are highly anisotropic (\sigmaa = 3.63\times 10-4S/cm, \sigmab= 2.84$\times 10-6S/cm, and \sigmac = 1.82\times 10-5S/cm). Particularly, a sharp semiconductor to semiconductor transition has been observed around 270 K on the resistivity curves measured under cooling and heating. In addition, thermal hysteresis phenomena on conductivity and differential scanning calorimetry curves are also reported.

Abstract: This paper reports that a charge-transfer salt dibutylammonium bis-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane [DBA (TCNQ)2] has been prepared. The temperature dependences of the DC electrical conductivity of the DBA (TCNQ)2 single crystal measured along the crystallographic a, b, and c axes are reported. The crystal shows semiconducting behaviour and the room-temperature conductivities are highly anisotropic  ($\sigma_{a}=3.63\times10^{-4}$ S/cm, $\sigma_{b}=2.84\times10^{-6}$S/cm, and $\sigma_{c}=1.82\times10^{-5}$S/cm). Particularly, a sharp semiconductor to semiconductor transition has been observed around 270 K on the resistivity curves measured under cooling and heating. In addition, thermal hysteresis phenomena on conductivity and differential scanning calorimetry curves are also reported.
