Structural study, vibrational and optical properties, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT investigation of a novel organic cation hexachloridostannate(IV), (C5H8N3)2[SnCl6]

A new Organic–Inorganic hybrid compound (NH3(CH2)2C6H5)2[SnCl6]: Crystal structure, characterization, Hirshfeld surface analysis, DFT calculation, vibrational properties and biological evaluation

“…The Sn-Cl bond lengths of the SnCl 6 dianion ranged from 2.408(2) Å to 2.431(2)Å. The Cl-Sn-Cl bond angles ranged from 88.64 (5)° to 91.67 (6)° for the chlorine atoms in lateral positions, while those for axial chlorines were close to 180°, exhibiting a small geometrical distortion from the ideal octahedra geometry. The Sn-Cl bonds were in agreement with the corresponding values for similar compounds reported previously [48,49].…”

“…In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrids have become one of the most attractive research topics due to the possibility of integrating the advantageous properties of inorganic and organic molecules, including electrical, optical, magnetic and catalytic properties, as well as luminescence and conductivity. The selection of metals such as Tin (Sn)in medicine for example poses a key issue in terms of its toxicity in comparison with that of lead (Pb) [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Owing to their interesting structures, these composites have been intensely studied to better correlate their structure with physical properties [7][8][9].…”
