Self-assembly, crystal structure and photoluminescent properties of a novel organic–inorganic hybrid coordination polymer: [CdCl3(CH3)3NH]

Abstract: A novel organic–inorganic coordination polymer [CdCl3(CH3)3NH] 1 was synthesized by the reaction of CdCl2 with trimethylamine (TMA) at 170 °C for 5 days in ethanol and structurally characterized by means of X-ray single diffraction. The title compound affords a one-dimensional chain structure. It crystallizes in hexagonal system space group with , , , , , , , , , , the final and for 355 observed reflections with . The title compound consists of cation [(CH3)3NH]+ and anion chain , and they are combined by static attracting forces in the crystal. TG–DTA, XRD and IR data for the title compound are reported and discussed. The photoluminescent properties of the compound 1 were also investigated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
