Synthesis, crystal structure, vibrational and optical properties of a new Pb(II) complex (2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1,4-diium tetrachloroplombate(II) C6H16N2OPbCl4

Synthesis of New Homopiperazine-1.4-Diium Tetrachloridromercurate (II) Monohydrate (C5H14N2)[HgCl4]·H2O, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface, Spectroscopy, Thermal Analysis, Antioxidant Activity, Electric and Dielectric Behavior

Using acid–base assays and simple slow evaporation method at ambient temperature, we were successful in producing a novel salt with the chemical formula (C5H14N2)[HgCl4]·H2O. According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, the crystal packing was regulated by H-bonds and by Coulomb interactions (also called electrostatic interactions) between distinct entities, which formed a 3D network. The 2D fingerprint plots and the Hirshfeld surface were utilized to examine the effect of intermolecular interactions. FTIR spectroscopy, PL spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and electrical conductivity experiments were also carried out, and the antioxidant activity was tested.
