Abstract

Here, we report the crystal structures, phase transitions, and thermal, dielectric, and conducting properties of an ion-pair compound [C4-bmim][Ni(mnt)2] (1). 1 undergoes a three-step phase transition with four phases before melting. A two-step dielectric constant bistability is also realized by the structural phase transition in 1 occurring among phases I, II, and III, which is due to the in-plane oscillations of the alkyl chain and crystal-to-mesophase transition, respectively. Moreover, 1 exhibits rare temperature-dependent conducting properties accompanying structural phase transitions, and conductivity is very high with 0.00186 S cm−1 at 413 K. The conduction properties of phase III (mesophase) arise from the dipole molecular motion.
