T1 - Sintering behavior, microstructure and thermoelectric properties of calcium cobaltite thickfilms for transversal thermoelectric multilayer generators N2 - The sintering behavior and the thermoelectric performance of Ca3Co4O9 multilayer laminates were studied, and a multilayer thermoelectric generator was fabricated. Compacts and multilayer samples with anisotropic microstructure and residual porosity were obtained after conventional sintering at 920 °C, whereas dense and isotropic multilayer samples were prepared by firing at 1200 °C and reoxidation at 900 °C. A hot-pressed sample has a dense and anisotropic microstructure. Samples sintered at 920 °C exhibit low electrical conductivity due to the low density, whereas the Seebeck coefficient is not sensitive to preparation conditions. However, thermal conductivity of multilayers is very low, and, hence acceptable ZT values are obtained. A ransversal multilayer thermoelectric generator (TMLTEG) was fabricated by stacking layers of Ca3Co4O9 green tapes, AgPd conductor printing, and co-firing at 920 °C. The TMLTEG has a power output of 3 mW at ΔT =200 K in the temperature interval of 25 °C to 300 °C.

T1 - High-pressure studies on molecular crystals - relations between structure and high-pressure behavior N2 - This paper summarizes attempts to understand structure–property relationships for a large class of aromatic diphenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole molecules. Starting from the investigation of the crystal structure several common packing motifs as well as characteristic differences are derived. Many different molecules show a rather planar conformation in the solid state. A stronger intermolecular twist is only observed for compounds with substituents occupying the ortho-positions of the phenyl rings. Most crystal structures are characterized by the formation of stacks leading to intense π–π acceptor–donor interactions between oxadiazole and phenyl rings. High-pressure investigations result in a soft compression behavior typical for organic molecular crystals. The bulk behavior may be described by the Murnaghan equation of state with similar coefficients (bulk modulus and its pressure derivative) for nearly all investigated compounds but also for related substances. The compression shows a strong anisotropy resulting from the specific features and packing motifs of the crystal structure. This is clearly indicated by a corresponding strain analysis. Additionally to the crystal structure the Raman spectrum was also investigated under increasing pressure. The different pressure behavior of external and internal modes reflects the difference between intra- and intermolecular interactions.

T1 - Origin of templating processes in polypyrrole synthesis N2 - The supermolecular mechanism of the template-mediated oxidative polymerization of pyrrole is investigated in detail. It is shown for the first time that 2,5-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)pyrrolidyl complexes with aromatic sulfonic acids such as %#946;-naphtalenesulfonic acid or para-toluenesulfonic acid are formed in the early polymerization step. The crystalline acid–base complexes are isolated and their crystal structures are analyzed. A 2,5-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)pyrrolidyl cation is common to both complexes and forms an inner salt with the sulfonic acid anion. As concluded from NMR investigations the synthesis using sulfonic acids results in a high stereo selectivity with respect to the trans conformation of the pyrrolidyl ring compared with the classical synthesis routine of this compound using hydrochloric acid. The needle-like crystals of the complexes act as hard templates during the next step of the polymerization and result in tubular morphologies of the polypyrrole.
