Abstract Organosols of ZnS and HgS in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were prepared by reaction of Zn and Hg salts with H2S. ZnS in the DMF organosol has a particle size of about 300 Å, determined by an argon laser scattering technique. The form of HgS in the organosols varies with temperature, concentration of HgS, and type of solvent;β-HgS in a DMF organosol is converted intoα-HgS at −30 °C or above. Poly(acrylonitrile)-ZnS or -HgS composite films prepared from organosols are semiconductive, and the electrical conductivity of the film increases by a factor of 102–103 on exposure to moisture or alcohol vapour. Poly(acrylonitrile)-β-HgS composite films, prepared from heatedβ-HgS, show electrical conductivity of a range of 10−1–10−2 S cm−1 and a large electron mobility.
