Abstract

The electrical and spectral properties of some ethyl cyanoacetate phenylhydrazone derivatives have been investigated. Results obtained show anomalous metallic-like and semiconducting behaviours corresponding to the low and higher temperature ranges. At high temperatures a positive temperature coefficient of electrical conductivity (dΣ/d T) provides evidence for the semiconducting character, and the linear correlation indicates metallic-like behaviour at a low temperature range. Values of activation energy (δE) were calculated in each case. In addition, the current-voltage dependence of the hydrazone derivatives was investigated. This showed that the compounds under study have ohmic conduction. The correlation between γmax and Σa Hammett constant was also investigated. The hydrazone derivatives are thermolabile and undergo thermochromic behaviour during heating.
