Abstract

Two new organic–inorganic hybrids, namely [C4H10N]2[SbCl5] (1, C4H10N = protonated cyclobutylamine) and [C4H10N]3[BiCl6] (2), were synthesized and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), variable-temperature structural analyses and dielectric measurements. Their structures are composed of [SbCl5] tetragonal pyramid and [BiCl6] octahedron, respectively, and 4-membered cyclic amine acts as organic cation. Interestingly, the metal center Sb is replaced by Bi, the phase transition temperature is increased from 207 K to 401 K. This research shows that the metal substitution is an effective strategy to achieve phase transition temperature adjusting for organic–inorganic materials.
