Popis: Thermal conductivity κ of a single crystal triclinic 4-bromobenzophenone polymorph was measured along axis b from 4.5 to 303 K. The κ values versus temperature were represented as a sum of κ 1 , which generally describes the thermal conductivity of ordered crystals, and κ TA responsible for activation processes, which fits nicely experimental data from 120 up. DFT analysis led to the conclusion that the activation agent responsible for the high-temperature behavior is the molecular mode that involves C–Br oscillations. It is for the first time that the exponential thermal conduction was ascribed to a specific intramolecular excitation.
