Title: Synthesis, structural characterization, thermal stability and physical properties of new hybrid compound: bis(3,4-dimethylanilinium) hexachlorostannate(IV)
Abstract: Intense research activity during the past few decades in organic-inorganic hybrid materials of formula (R-NH3),SnX n , where X = F, Cl, Br or I, because for their interesting thermal, optical and electrical properties [1,2].In this study we present a new hybrid compound based on tin and derived from anilinium, examine the hydrogen bonding in it crystal structure and explore it thermal decomposition.The tilte compound, [SnCl 6 ] 2-, 2(C 8 H 12 N) + , crystallized in Triclinic system, with P-1 space group, it has been prepared by slow evaporation of an aqueuos solution of 3,4 dimethyl aniline, tin(II) chloride and hydrochloric acid.The crystal structure consists of alternating layers of hexachlorostannate and 3,4-dimethylanilionium along the c axis.They are linked together by cation-anion hydrogen bonds.This three-dimensional complex network of hydrogen bond reinforces the cohesion of the ionic structure.We have measured a third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility and electrical conduction.The thermal decomposition of the compound shows that the SnO 2 is obtained after two steps.
