Abstract

Abstract : Two cationic coordination polymers of Hg(i ) and Ag(i ) containing 2, 2′-azobispyridine, those in crystalline form are conductor of electricity were isolated. The conductivity of the mercury analogue increases sensibly upon reacting with Cu(ii ) ions. Abstract : The cationic coordination polymers (CPs) of the types [Hg2 (abpy)2 ] n [PF6 ]2 n (1 ) and [Ag(abpy)] n [PF6 ] n (2 ) (abpy = 2, 2′-azobispyridine) were synthesized and characterized. Experimentation using the crystals confirmed that 1 and 2 are conductors of electricity. The relative conductivity of 1 is 62 times greater than that of 2 . The conductivity of 1 increases 70 fold when it reacts with Cu 2+ ions.
