Abstract
Zinc II, cadmium II and mercury II complexes derived from barbituric acid (BA), 5-nitrobarbituric acid (NBA), phenobarbital
(PB) and 2-thiouracil (TU) were synthesized. The analytical results assigned the formation of complexes with the stoichiometries
1:1 and 1:2. The infrared spectral measurements assigned, and bands. The tetrahedral geometries are given for these complexes. The
capacitance (CP) and the dielectric constant of the complexes are decreased with increasing the applied frequency and increased
with increasing temperature. The behavior of the dielectric loss (εs) indicated a polar polarization mechanism. The loss tangent (tan
δ) is decreased with increasing frequency and increased with increasing temperature while the impedance (Z) is mostly decreased
with increasing both of frequency and temperature. Cole-Cole diagrams for the complexes at different temperatures reveal non-
Debye type of the complexes. The relaxation time (τ) for each relaxator becomes smaller as the temperature increases. In most
complexes, the conductivity – temperature relationship is characterized by a phase transition temperature. Two pathways for the
conduction of electricity may be expected at lower and upper temperature regions: n → Π* and Π → Π* transitions, respectively.
The relative permittivity, dielectric loss and conductivity values for the complexes revealed semiconducting features based mainly
on the hopping mechanism. The lower values of the activation energy (ΔE) may be understood assuming that the metal ion forms
a bridge with the ligands, thus facilitating the transfer of current carriers with some degree of delocalization in the excited state.
