Abstract
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid material, [C16H36N]3(Cu2Br6)(CuBr3), was synthesized via slow evaporation and extensively characterized. Techniques such as X-ray diffraction, SEM/EDX, IR spectroscopy, and electric and dielectric studies were applied. Examination of the crystal structure reveals that the synthesized material adopts an orthorhombic system, specifically belonging to the P21212 space group, with unit cell parameters a = 25.635 Å, b = 25.996 Å, c = 20.431 Å, V = 13615.3Å3, and Z = 8. Purity confirmation was established through powder X-ray diffraction analysis. Composition verification was carried out using semiquantitative EDXS analysis. The asymmetric unit consists of three tetrabutylammonium organic cations [C16H36N]3+, two [Cu2Br6]2groups, and one [CuBr3] group, forming a 0D anionic network. C–H⋯Br hydrogen bonding combines to create a 3D hydrogen-bonded network, maintaining crystal stability. IR spectral analysis corroborated the compound's characterstics at room temperature. Impedance spectroscopy highlighted the compound's electrical properties, and the fitting of the Nyquist plot revealed that both inter- and intra-grains contribute to relaxation. The equivalent circuit is modeled by a combination of two parallel R-CPEs connected in series to explain the impedance results.
采用慢蒸发法制备了一种新型有机无机杂化材料[C16H36N]3(Cu2Br6)(CuBr3)。应用了x射线衍射、SEM/EDX、红外光谱、电学和介电学研究等技术。晶体结构检测表明,合成材料为正交体系,属于P21212空间群,晶胞参数a = 25.635 Å, b = 25.996 Å, c = 20.431 Å, V = 13615.3Å3, Z = 8。通过粉末x射线衍射分析确定其纯度。采用半定量EDXS分析进行成分验证。不对称单元由三个四丁基铵有机阳离子[C16H36N]3+,两个[Cu2Br6]2基团和一个[CuBr3]基团组成,形成一个0D阴离子网络。C-H⋯Br氢键结合形成3D氢键网络,保持晶体稳定性。红外光谱分析证实了该化合物在室温下的特征。阻抗谱显示了化合物的电学性质,Nyquist图的拟合显示晶粒间和晶粒内都有助于弛豫。等效电路由串联连接的两个并联r - cpe组合来建模,以解释阻抗结果。
