The organic-inorganic hybrid compounds have attracted considerable attention due to their exceptional properties and diverse applications. This study successfully synthesized the hybrid compound (C6H9N2)3[BiCl6] via a slow evaporation technique at room temperature. Structural analysis confirmed a triclinic crystal system within the P1̄ space group, while thermal investigations revealed a phase transition at 420 K. Optical characterization through UV-visible absorption spectroscopy highlighted its semiconducting nature. Electrical and dielectric measurements performed using complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) demonstrated a strong dependence on both frequency and temperature. Nyquist plots (-Z'' vs. Z') exhibited a single semicircular arc, indicative of non-Debye relaxation behavior. The AC conductivity exhibits behavior consistent with Jonscher's universal power law, while temperature-dependent analysis indicates that the correlated barrier-hopping (CBH) model governs the predominant conduction mechanism. Notably, the material exhibits a high dielectric constant, underscoring its potential for energy storage applications.
