Bis(4-methylbenzylammonium) tetrachloridozincate: a new noncentrosymmetric structure characterized by13C CP–MAS NMR spectroscopy

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: A new noncentrosymmetric organic-inorganic hybrid material, (C(8)H(12)N)(2)[ZnCl(4)], has been synthesized as single crystals at room temperature and characterized by X-ray diffraction and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Its novel structure consists of two 4-methylbenzylammonium cations and one [ZnCl(4)](2-) anion connected by N-H···Cl and C-H···Cl hydrogen bonds, two of which are three-centre interactions. The Zn(II) metal centre has a slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. Results from (13)C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy are in good agreement with the X-ray structure. Density functional theory calculations allow the assignment of the carbon peaks to the independent crystallographic sites.
