Abstract
A novel organic–inorganic hybrid compound (C 9H 14N) 2PbCl 4 was grown via a solution-cooling process by employing the organic cation-2,4,6-trimethylaniline to control the hybrid compound and the structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction to be monoclinic, P2(1)/c with a = 24.350(0) Å, b = 25.167(0) Å, c = 7.694(0) Å, β = 95.77(9)°, and Z = 8. The compound adopted an unprecedented structure, which was built with the staircase-like 1-D chains of PbCl 4 octahedra sandwiched with the square pyramids of PbCl 5. Raman and infrared spectra were used to gain more information of the title compound. The hybrid compound showed the photoluminescence emission at 424 nm.
