Electrical conductivity of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and its derivatives

A complex conductivity study was performed for the first time on hexachloro cyclotriphosphazene and its salt prepared by the reaction with 4-methylpyri dine N-oxide. Specific conductivity, activation energy, and dielectric cons tant were measured for the two compounds. A mechanism of electronic transpo rt was proposed, involving vacant d orbitals of the phosphorus atom.
