Abstract

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 experiments allow us to suspect the solid compound CuSn5Br11 to be a fast Cu+ ion conductor. The specific conductance of the molten compound is nearly the same as that of the molten stannous bromide, so its conduction can be regarded as being mostly due to motion of the anions.
