Abstract:
The evaluation of thermoelectric properties has recently become a standard method for revealing the electronic properties of conducting polymers. Herein we report on the thermoelectric properties of a two-dimensional coordination polymer pellets. The pellets of Ni₃(2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene)₂, which has recently been developed, show n-type thermoelectric transport, dependent on crystallinity. The present results provide systematic feedback to the guideline for high-performance molecular thermoelectric materials.

Polymer Classification: Crystallinity
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...

Equations of Motion: Rectangular Coordinates and Cylindrical Coordinates
When a particle moves relative to an inertial frame, the equations of motion can be expressed using rectangular components. If the motion is confined to the x-y plane, the equations having the x and y coordinates only can be used to simplify the mathematical representation.
However, when particles...
