Molecules 2024; 29:2773. [PMID: 38930838 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29122773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Two new three-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline materials, [(Ade)2 CdCl4] (1) and [(Ade)2 CdBr4] (2), were obtained by the slow evaporation of adenine (Ade) and cadmium chloride in aqueous solution at room temperature with hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid used as halogen sources. The structural, thermal, optical, and electrical properties were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, variable-temperature-variable-frequency dielectric constant analysis, and electrochemical tests. With increasing the substitution of Cl by Br, the composition of the material changed and the space group shifted from P-1 to P21/m, with a significant blue-shift in the fluorescence emission. Changing the temperature induced the deformation of the three-dimensional framework structure formed by hydrogen bonding interactions, leading to dielectric anomalies. Cyclic voltammetry tests showed the good reversibility of the electrolysis process. The structural diversity of the complexes was realized by modulating the halogen composition, and a new method for designing novel organic-inorganic hybrids with controllable photoelectric functionality was proposed.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:12743-12752.

Abstract
A novel semiconducting Ni(II)-based hybrid material with the formula (C7H12N2) NiCl4, which exhibits interesting optical and electrical properties, is reported. The crystal structure was investigated using SCXRD, whereas physical properties were studied by means of thermal analysis, Ft-Infrared, optical, and electrical measurements. Its crystal packing is formed through organic rings surrounded by inorganic [NiCl4]2- tetrahedral and stacked along the a-crystallographic axis. This arrangement is stabilized by a dense network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The investigated compound displayed a wide absorption range across the visible spectrum, characterized by an optical gap energy of 2.64 eV, indicating its semiconducting nature and efficient sunlight absorption capabilities across various wavelengths. Such features are of utmost importance in achieving a high energy conversion efficiency in solar cell applications. Further analyses of the thermal behavior using differential scanning calorimetry revealed a single-phase transition occurring at around 413 K, which was further confirmed through electrical measurements. A deep investigation of the electric and dielectric performances demonstrated a significant dielectric constant (ε' ∼ 104) at low frequencies and low dielectric loss at high frequencies. Thus, it highlights its exceptional dielectric potential, particularly in applications related to electronic capacitors.

Abstract
Inspired by the success of three-dimensional hybrid perovskites (CH3NH3)PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I), two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have drawn immense attention due to their highly tunable physical properties. Moreover, although 3D hybrid perovskite materials have been reported, the development of new organic-inorganic hybrid semiconductors is still an area in urgent need of investigation. Here, we used the dimethylammonium cation to construct a palladium-based halide perovskite material [(CH3)2NH2]2PdBr4 with a 2D layered structure. This layered perovskite undergoes one endothermic peak at 415 K corresponding to melting of the organic molecule. The thermal stability of the compound is up to about 500 K. The activation energy and conduction mechanisms are discussed, and the optical study shows a gap energy equal to 2.5 eV. The electrical AC conductivity is in the order of 10-4 Ω-1 cm-1, which confirms the semiconductor character of this material and indicates its importance in the optoelectronic domain.

Abstract
Layered hybrid halometallates represent a promising class of multifunctional materials, yet with many open challenges regarding the interaction between building blocks. In this work, we present a synthetic and analytical methodology for the efficient synthesis and structural analysis of a series of novel tetrahalocuprate(II) hybrids based on small alkylammonium cations. Observed robustness in geometrical motifs provided a platform for crystal structure determination, even from the complex laboratory powder diffraction data. The slight differences in inorganic layer geometry and severe differences in organic bilayer packing are quantified using well-established descriptors for these materials, and dependences of geometric parameters on anion and cation choice are accounted for. Temperature dependence of structural parameters for one of the tetrachlorocuprate hybrids that was chosen as a model unveils a possible geometrical origin of thermochromism in these materials.

Abstract
We present the influence of positional isomerism on the crystal structure of fluorobenzylammonium copper(II) chloride perovskites A2CuCl4 by incorporating ortho-, meta-, and para-fluorine substitution in the benzylamine structure. Two-dimensional (2D) polar ferromagnet (3-FbaH)2CuCl4 (3-FbaH+ = 3-fluorobenzylammonium) is successfully obtained, which crystallizes in a polar orthorhombic space group Pca21 at room temperature. In contrast, both (2-FbaH)2CuCl4 (2-FbaH+ = 2-fluorobenzylammonium) and (4-FbaH)2CuCl4 (4-FbaH+ = 4-fluorobenzylammonium) crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups P21/c and Pnma at room temperature, respectively, displaying significant differences in crystal structures. These differences indicate that the position of the fluorine atom is a driver for the polar behavior in (3-FbaH)2CuCl4. Preliminary magnetic measurements confirm that these three perovskites possess dominant ferromagnetic interactions within the inorganic [CuCl4]∞ layers. Therefore, (3-FbaH)2CuCl4 is a polar ferromagnet, with potential as a type I multiferroic. This work is expected to promote further development of high-performance 2D copper(II) halide perovskite multiferroic materials.

Abstract
Solid-state phase transition materials have received extraordinary interest due to their rich physical properties, such as thermal, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties. Here, two In-based organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, (C6H5CH2CH2NH3)3[InBr5(H2O)] (1) and [(C3H7)4N][InCl4] (2), both display reversible phase transition and dielectric response. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements indicate that the phase transition temperatures (Tc) of 1 and 2 are 167 K and 351 K, respectively. Moreover, structural analyses disclose that the phase transition of 1 can be attributed to the order-disorder changes of phenethylammonium organic cations whereas the phase transition of 2 is caused by the order-disorder changes of [InCl4]- anions. The phase transitions of In-based organic-inorganic hybrid compounds can be driven by the order-disorder changes of cations or anions. Therefore, the system of In-based organic-inorganic hybrid compounds is very suitable for exploring organic-inorganic hybrid phase transition materials.

Abstract
We present three new hybrid copper(II) chloride layered perovskites of generic composition ACuCl4 or A2CuCl4, which exhibit three distinct structure types. (m-PdH2)CuCl4 (m-PdH22+ = protonated m-phenylenediamine) adopts a Dion-Jacobson (DJ)-like layered perovskite structure type and exhibits a very large axial thermal contraction effect upon heating, as revealed via variable-temperature synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD). This can be attributed to the contraction of an interlayer block, via a slight repositioning of the m-PdH22+ moiety. (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 (3-AbaH+ = protonated 3-aminobenzoic acid) and (4-AbaH)2CuCl4 (4-AbaH+ = protonated 4-aminobenzoic acid) possess the same generic formula as Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) layered perovskites, A2BX4, but adopt different structures. (4-AbaH)2CuCl4 adopts a near-staggered structure type, whereas (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 adopts a near-eclipsed structure type, which resembles the DJ rather than the RP family. (3-AbaH)2CuCl4 also displays static disorder of the [CuCl4]∞ layers. The crystal structures of each are discussed in terms of the differing nature of the templating molecular species, and these are compared to related layered perovskites. Preliminary magnetic measurements are reported, suggesting dominant ferromagnetic interactions.
