Abstract
This study presents the synthesis, single crystal structures, and optical properties of a series of six halido cadmates featuring the diammonium cations 4-(ammoniomethyl)pyridinium (H2AMP2+) and 4-(ammonioethyl)pyridinium (H2AEP2+). The chlorido cadmates (H2AMP)2Cd3Cl10·4H2O (1) and (H2AEP)4Cd5Cl18 (2) feature complex polymeric anion motifs, while the bromido and iodio cadmates (H2AMP)CdBr4·H2O (3), (H2AEP)CdBr4 (4), (H2AMP)CdI4 (5), and (H2AEP)CdI4 · H2O (6) are composed of mononuclear {CdX4} units (X = halogen) packed in different arrangements. (H2AEP)4Cd5Cl18 (2) displays a phase transition between 100 K and room temperature, which is studied in detail. All compounds show decomposition temperatures above 180 °C. Optical bandgaps of the compounds are estimated in the range from 3.4 to 4.4 eV, with all compounds showing significant sub-bandgap absorption. Compounds 1–6 also show broad low-temperature emission centred between 1.95 and 2.5 eV.
