A New Organic–Inorganic Hybrid Compound: Synthesis, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, vibrational, optical, magnetic properties and theoretical study

Abstract

Renewable technologies represent a solution to reduce the energy demand and dependency on fossil fuels. Here, attention is focused on organic inorganic hybrids used in photovoltaic. The present work is the investigation of a new organic–inorganic hybrid C4H10Cl3NO2Sn that crystallizes in a monoclinic system with C2/c space group and unit cell parameters (a = 32.071(5) Å, b = 5.827(5) Å, c = 11.596(5) Å, β = 94.858(5) °, and Z = 4) at room temperature. The crystal structure exploration reveal the stabilization of the crystal packing is carried out by a complex network of hydrogen interactions that lead formation of layered organic- inorganic hybrid stacked along the a-axis. The intermolecular interactions were elucidated by Hirchfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. The vibration modes were probed by Micro-Raman spectroscopy. Also, the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement shows the ferromagnetism aspect of the compound as well as the energy gap was estimated from UV–visible absorption spectroscopy.
