Electrical conductivity of CuSn5Br11 in solid and molten states

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00575418

The electrical conductivity of solid and molten CuSn₅Br₁₁ and SnBr₂ compounds was determined using classical a.c. bridge techniques and sealed capillary-type cells with platinum electrodes. The solid compound CuSn₅Br₁₁ may be a fast Cu⁺ ion conductor. The specific conductance of the molten compound is nearly the same as that of the molten stannous bromide. Its conduction is mostly due to motion of the anions.
