Abstract
The structure of [C2H5NH(CH3)2+]3[BiCl6−] (abbreviated as DCB) was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 115K. The compound adopts tetragonal symmetry with the space group I41/acd; a=23.35Å, c=17.60Å, V=9598Å3 and Z=16. The crystal structure of DCB is built up of isolated [BiCl6]3− units and N,N-dimethylethylammonium counterions that are accommodated in the large voids. At ambient temperature two-thirds of the counterions appear to be dynamically disordered. Dynamics of this type of cations contributes to the enhanced dielectric permittivity of DCB. A low frequency dielectric relaxation process that takes place between 200 and 300K is characterized by an exceptionally large dielectric increment, Δϵ>100, which is unprecedented in nonferroelectric materials. The molecular motions of the N,N-dimethylethylammonium cations were studied by means of H1 NMR spin-lattice relaxation time measurements.
