A novel hybrid material, C 6 H 16 N 2 OPbCl 4 , has been successfully synthesized in nitrogen atmosphere by slow evaporation at room temperature. The compound structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 (a = 5.9926(2) Å, b = 10.3691(5) Å, c = 11.3558(4) Å, α=111.755(4)°,β= 96.080(3)°, γ = 105.948(4)°, Z= 2) at 293 K. The structure is built up from anionic 1-D polymeric chains of PbCl 4 O octahedral extended along the (b + c)-axis. These chains are interconnected O-H•••Cl hydrogen bonds to form inorganic layers parallel to (a, b + c) plane. The organic layers are inserted between the inorganic ones and connect them through N-H•••Cl and C-H•••Cl hydrogen bonds hydrogen bonds to build a three dimensional network. To gain more information about intermolecular interaction we used Hirshfeld surfaces associated with 2D finger plots. The optical and PL properties of the compound were investigated in the solid state at room temperature and exhibited two bands at 250 and 290 nm and a photoluminescence emission at 529 nm. Raman and infrared spectra were used to gain more information for vibrational modes of the title compound. As for thermal analysis, DSC analysis shows that this compound is stable at temperature below melting point. Finally, XPS analysis is achieved for analyzing the surface chemistry of C 6 H 16 N 2 OPbCl 4 crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
