Electrical transport properties and modulus behavior of the organic–inorganic [N(C3H7)4]2SnCl6 compound

In this paper we report the study of electric properties of bis-tetrapropylammoniumhexchlorostannte compound. The plots of −Zʺ versus Z′ obtained in a range of temperature (343–393 K ) and frequency (209 Hz to 5 MHz) were well fitted to an equivalent circuit formed by a parallel combination of resistance (R), fractal capacitance (CPE) and capacitance (C  ). The frequency dependence of A.C. conductivity has been fitted using Jonscher relation at different temperatures σ(ω)=σdc+Asωσ(ω)=σdc+Aωs. The variation of the exponent s with temperature indicates that the CBH model is the probable mechanism for the A.C. conduction behavior. The theoretical study of A.C. electrical conduction using single polaron model has been reported. The study of the activation energy obtained from the electric modulus matches well with that obtained from conduction.
