Abstract
A new organic-inorganic hybrid material, 1-amonioethylpiperazine-1, 4-diium tetrachloridozincate(II) chloride, (C6H18N3)[ZnCl4]Cl, has been synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical techniques including UV–visible absorption, Infra-Red (IR), Raman and NMR spectroscopies. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system and P21 space group with Z = 2 and the following unit cell dimensions: a = 7.1728 (6), b = 12.4160 (11), c = 8.0278 (7) Å, β = 97.513 (1)°, V = 708.80 (11) Å3.In this structure, the Zn2+ ion, surrounded by four chlorides, adopts a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. The structure of this compound consists of monomeric 1-amonioethylpiperazine-1, 4-diium trications and monomeric [ZnCl4]2− and Cl− anions. These entities are interconnected by means of hydrogen bonding contacts [NH⋯Cl, CH⋯Cl], forming a three-dimensional network. Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces. More than three quarters of the interaction surface in the crystal packing is constituted by attractive and favored H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The 13C and 15N CP–MAS NMR spectra are discussed and the vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared and Raman spectroscopy.
