syms Kspp
eqn = (((e1+e2*coth(Kspp*d))/Kspp)+i(conductivity/(w*e0)))==0;%dispersion equation for Transverse Magnetic SPP waves
solx = solve(eqn,Kspp);
I want to solve this for Kspp, but I am getting an error. Can any one help?

syms Kspp
h=6.6262*10^-34; %Planck constant
ha=h/(2*pi); %Reduced Planck constant
Kb=1.3806*10^-23; % Boltzmann constant
c=3*10^8;
Ef=0.2; %Fermi energy
T=100;
e0=8.85*10^-12;
e1=4; %SiO2 dielectric
e2=4;
conductivity=sinh(ha/Kb*T)/(cosh(Ef/Kb*T)+cosh(ha/Kb*T));
eqn = (((e1+e2*coth(Kspp*d))/Kspp)+i*(conductivity/(w*e0)))==0;%dispersion equation for Transverse Magnetic SPP waves
solx = solve(eqn,Kspp) %returns empty sym which means symbolic engine is not able to solve
