Abstract:
Solventless mechanochemical synthesis by manual grinding was applied to grow imidazole-succinic acid (C3H4N2HOOC-(CH2)2COOH) and imidazole-glutaric acid (C3H4N2HOOC-(CH2)3COOH), which exhibit different electric conducting behaviors and activation energies Ea compared with the reported single crystals obtained from the solution method. This method bears strong capability for tuning conductivities and achieves complete deuteration of the organic salts.
