Spectroscopic Investigation of The Reaction Product of Co (II) Chloride with 1,3,5-Hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and its application as Photoactive material

Abstract

In an organic medium, 1,3,5-hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCTP) and CoCl2 were reacted. IR, UV, and EPR spectrum studies, as well as quantitative estimations, were used to characterize the product. The composition of the reaction product has been determined to be (P3N3Cl5) (CoCl3)^‒. A bidentate coordinated complex with Oh geometry and paramagnetic properties is the reaction product. Under both normal and varying lighting circumstances, the current transport mechanisms in the reaction product's thin films have been investigated. It is discovered that the film displays an Ohmic behavior at low fields and that the Pool Frenkel (PF) mechanism dominates the high field area. It infers that the reaction product may be used as photoactive material.
