Semiconductive 1D nanobelt iodoplumbate hybrid with high humidity response

A new compound, [(Et2)HDABH(Et2)]2Pb5I14·2H2O (DAB = benzidine), has been solvothermally synthesized. It exhibits unusual one-dimensional (1D) nanobelt structure. The compound presents typical semiconductive behavior, whose conductivity increases along with the raising of temperature. Moreover, the compound shows more than 4 orders of magnitude resistance response to 90% RH.201
