A New Anionic Structure Type Of Chlorobismuthate Salt: X-ray Characterization, DFT, Optical and Dielectric Properties of (C4H10N)8[Bi2Cl11][BiCl6]·2H2O

Stabilization of Tetrachloride with Mn (II) and Co (II)Complexes and 4-Tert-Butylpyridinium Organic Cation: Elaboration of the Structure and Hirshfeld Surface, Optical, Spectroscopic and Thermal Analyses

[C9H14N]2[MnCl4] (I) and [C9H14N]2[CoCl4] (II) are isostructural compounds produced via gradual evaporation at room temperature. Both compounds consolidate in the tetragonal space group I4¯2d (No. 122), as shown by single-crystal X-ray diffraction observations. A slightly deformed tetrahedral geometry is formed by four chloride atoms around each cation MII (M = Mn or Co). The [C9H14N]+ groups and the isolated [MCl4]2− units are connected via C–H…Cl and N–H…Cl H-bonds to form sheets parallel to the (101¯), (011), (01¯1) and (101) planes. The morphology and the chemical composition of compounds (I) and (II)were determined here using SEM and EDX. The functional groups contained in both compounds were determined using FT-IR spectroscopy. The study of the optical characteristics showed that the two compounds exhibited semiconductor behavior. The thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) was used to determine their thermal stability.
