Ba. Elsayed et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF OXAMIDE, DITHIO-OXAMIDE AND BIURET, Materials letters, 27(3), 1996, pp. 65-69
A correlation of the molecular structure with the temperature dependen
ce of the electrical conductivity of oxamide, dithio-oxamide and biure
t was carried out. The values of the thermal activation energies, as w
ell as the electrical conductivities indicate the semiconductor behavi
our of the three compounds. Intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bondings
occurring in the solid phases of the investigated compounds are consi
dered as an important reason for their semiconducting properties.
