Photoconduction of Metal 8-Hydroxy-Quinolinate

抄録

The photoconduction of metal 8-hydroxy-quinolinate (Me(C₉H₆NO)₂, where Me=Cu, Pd, Zn, Cd and Mg) was measured. The spectral response of the photoconduction was found in lower wavenumber region than the optical absorption bands. There is a linear relation between the wavenumber of the photoconductive peak and the electronegativity of metal ion. It seems that the photoconduction in the low wavenumber region arises from an intrinsic excitation of the constituent molecule.
