Crystal structure and electric properties of the organic–inorganic hybrid: [(CH2)6(NH3)2]ZnCl4

The new organic-inorganic hybrid [(CH2)6(NH3)2]ZnCl4, Mr=325.406 crystallized in a triclinic, P1¯, a=7.2816 (5) Å, b=10.0996 (7) Å, c=10.0972 (7) Å, α=74.368 (4)°, β=88.046 (4)°, γ=85.974 (3)°, V=713.24 (9) Å3 and Z=2, Dx=1.486 Mg m−3. Differential thermal scanning and x-ray powder diffraction, permittivity and ac conductivity indicated three phase transitions. Conduction takes place via correlated barrier hopping.
