Synthesis, crystal structure and luminescence properties of the inorganic-organic hybrid compound [FTMA]2[CdI4](FTMA = Ferrocenylmethyltrimethylammonium Cation)

摘要

The title compound [FTMA]2[CdI4] has been synthesized from [FTMA]I (ferrocenylmethyltrimethylammonium iodide) and 3CdSO 4-8H2O and was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Cd(II) atom has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. In the solid state there are C-H-π interactions between adjacent ferrocenyl cations to generate a chain structure. The luminescence properties of the title compound were investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
