Abstract

Abstract : A lead-iodide single crystal semiconductor with multi-orientation photoconductive property and broad spectrum absorption has been designed and constructed by crystal engineering technique. Abstract : A lead-iodide single crystal semiconductor with multi-orientation photoconductive properties and broad spectrum absorption has been designed and constructed by a crystal engineering technique. A strong charge transfer band was formed via organic–inorganic intermolecular interactions, darkening the color of the crystal. Electron catcher viologen cations surrounding the inorganic [Pb2 I6 ] 2− n chains extended the conductive orientation from along the a -axis in its perpendicular direction, presenting an interesting multi-channel conductive single crystalline system.
