This manuscript studies the AC and DC electrical conductivity of the organic compound methyl red dye, which is intensively examined due to its specific properties. The test samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. During the performance by the experts, the electrical conductivity of the direct current methyl red dye exhibited almost the symmetrical behavior to that of the general properties of organic semiconductors. The mechanism of conductivity of the alternating current methyl red dye was controlled by a correlative, characteristic barrier hopping model, as confirmed by an observed reduction in activation energy.
