Temperature dependence of conductivity of some partly-oxidised platinum complexes

Abstract

The conductivity of single crystals of K2Pt(CN)4Cl0·32·6H2O, K1·6Pt(C2O4)xH2O, Mg0·82Pt(C2O4)5·3H2O and K1·74Pt(CN)41·8H2O has been determined. The temperature dependence of the conductivity follows a log σ∝–(1/T)½ relationship consistent with a phonon-assisted hopping model recently proposed. In the last complex a metal-like temperature dependence of conductivity is observed at T > 243 K, which resembles the metal–insulator transition observed in a one-dimensional organic solid.
