Synthesis and Characterization of Bis(4-methylbenzylammonium) Tetrachloridocadmate(II)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the new inorganic-organic hybrid compound [4-CH 3 C 6 H 4 CH 2 NH 3 ] 2 [CdCl 4 ] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with lattice parameters a = 10.721(2), b = 33.986(6), c = 5.326(1)Å, β = 97.222(1)• , V = 1940.8(7)Å 3 , and Z = 4. The framework of the title compound is built upon layers parallel to (010) made up from corner-sharing CdCl 6 octahedra. 4-Methylbenzylammonium cations are situated between the layers and connect them via an N-H· · · Cl hydrogen bonding network. The Cd atom is located on an inversion centre, and the coordination environment is described as distorted octahedral. Solid state 13 C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy is in agreement with the X-ray structure. DFT calculations allow the attribution of the carbon peaks to the independent crystallographic sites. Thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy were also used to characterize the complex.

“…complex hydrogen-bonding system, involving the positively charged ammonium groups and to a minor extent the methylene group as donor groups, and the bromide ligands of the anionic layers as acceptor groups (Table 1). Bond lengths and angles within the cation have their usual values as reported for the isotypic compound bis(4-methylbenzylammonium) tetrachloridocadmate (Kefi et al, 2011). However, the anion in the latter shows no disorder.…”

“…S6) of the title compound shows a resonnance peak at 55.61 ppm can be assigned to C8 of CH 3 group whilst those observed around 159.43, 130.51 and 114.31 ppm correspond to C5, (C3&C7) and (C4&C6) respectively of the benzene ring as earlier cited [46,47].…”

“…The assignment of the spectra are carried out based on the 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra of the free 4-methoxybenzylamine (4MB) [45] and of earlier cited NMR study of related 4-methoxybenzylammonium materials [46]. The NMR spectral data of free 4MB and the 4MBAV10 are appended in Table S3.…”

“…11,12 The formation of hydrogen bonds in the structure promotes the NLO efficiency of such crystal as well as their physical properties. 13,14 Our research group focuses on the development of new semiorganic-based NLO materials, e.g., using 2-methyllactic acid. Among the various organic moieties, 2-methyllactic acid is chosen due to its coordinating ability with aqueous media.…”
