Conductive Organic Polymer Based Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Composite: Synthesis and Characterization

Abstract

Inorganic organic (IO) hybrids where inserted conducting organic polymer (COP) imprints their polymeric nature onto the hybrid material are one of the most promising candidates for solving many technological problems of modern technocratic society. The Inorganic-organic hybrid material of para toluidine (organic) & mercuric chloride (inorganic) was synthesized by using “instant-heating and slow-cooling” technique. Some light orange coloured plate-like crystals were obtained. XRD pattern of the grown crystal were analysed which shows that crystal has been grown into monoclinic crystal system in which a ≠ b ≠ c [10.061(4) A ≠ 4.317(2) A ≠ 12.987(5) A] & α=γ= 90 o ≠ β [α = γ = 90 o , β=104.322(7) o ] and belongs to space group p2 1 .Analysis of secondary interactions shows that such material has potential application in opto electronics.
