Structural and conductivity studies of CsK(SO4)0.32(SeO4)0.68Te(OH)6

Abstract The compound CsK(SO 4 ) 0.32 (SeO 4 ) 0.68 Te(OH) 6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P 2 1 / n space group. It was analyzed, at room temperature, using X-ray diffractometer data. The main feature of these atomic arrangements is the coexistence of three and different anions (SO 4 2− , SeO 4 2− and TeO 6 6− groups) in the unit cell, connected by hydrogen bonds which make the building of the crystal. The thermal analysis of the title compound shows three distinct endothermal peaks at 435, 460 and 475 K. Complex impedance measurements are performed on this material as a function of both temperature and frequency. The electric conduction has been studied. The temperature dependence on the conductivity indicates that the sample became an ionic conductor at high temperature.
