Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Compound: Tris(1,8-diammoniumoctane)bis(tetrachlorocobaltate) dichloride

Abstract

A new organic-inorganic hybrid (abbreviated DAOTCC) with the formula C₂₄H₆₆Cl₁₀Co₂N₆ was obtained by the reaction of 1,8-diaminooctane, CoCl₂·6H₂O and hydrochloric acid at room temperature. One of the grown crystals was subjected to X-ray diffraction. The titled compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters: a = 12.7153(14)Å; b = 17.5474(11)Å; c = 10.3409(8)Å; β = 91.582(7)°; V = 2306.39(3)ų; Z = 2; R₁ = 0.047; wR₂ = 0.1115 for 3104 observed reflexions. The structure is a 0D hybrid; the organic cations are linked to the inorganic layers by N-H…Cl hydrogen bonds.
