Abstract
The crystal structure of the title novel one-dimensional ABX3-type organic-inorganic hybrid complex {(C10H16N)[CdCl3]}n, (I), consists of benzyltrimethylammonium (Me3BzN(+)) cations and one-dimensional anionic {[Cd(μ-Cl)3](-)}∞ chains. Each Cd(II) centre is hexacoordinated by bridging chloride ligands, giving a slightly distorted octahedral Cd(μ-Cl)6 arrangement. The octahedra are linked by two opposite shared faces, giving rise to an almost perfectly linear anionic {[Cd(μ-Cl)3](-)}∞ chain in the a-axis direction. Me3BzN(+) cations located in the inter-chain spaces balance the charge. Noncovalent static attracting forces (Coulombic and van der Waals forces) and nonclassical C-H···Cl hydrogen-bond interactions stabilize the crystal structure.
