Abstract

A new organic–inorganic hybrid material of formula (C10H15N2F)5(SbCl5)5.2H2O was synthesized and characterized by X-Ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the following unit cell parameters a = 15.819(4) Å, b = 17.685(3) Å, c = 30.529(4) Å, Z = 4 and V = 8540(3) Å3. The examination of the structure shows that the three-dimensional frameworks are produced by NH⋯Cl, NH⋯O, CH⋯Cl and NH⋯F, CH⋯F hydrogen bonding and Cl⋯Cl interactions. IR, Raman and UV–Visible spectroscopies were also used to characterize this compound. In addition, the fluorescent properties of this compound have been investigated in the liquid state at room temperature. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has revealed a structural phase transition of the order-disorder type around 370 K. Dielectric investigations revealed a step-wise change of the electric permittivity at Ttr characteristic of the crystal in the high-temperature phase. The evolution of dielectric constant as a function of temperature of the sample has been investigated in order to determine some related parameters. Measurements of AC conductivity as a function of frequency at different temperatures indicated a hopping conduction mechanism and/or reorientational motion.
