STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYMERIC HALOPLUMBATE(II) SYSTEMS

The synthesis and the structural, thermal, and electrical characterization of haloplumbate(II) systems are described. The counterions are diprotonated linear aliphatic amines, such as the 2-methylpentane-1,5-diamine (2meptH2) and propane-1,3-diamine (pnH2) dications. The (2meptH2)[PbCl4] and (2meptH2)[PbBr4] are isostructural, space group Cc, with a = 24.140(4) A, b = 7.720(2) A, c = 7.795(2) A, β = 98.1(1)°, Z = 4 for the chlorine compound and a = 24.539(4) A, b = 8.031(2) A, c = 8.198(2) A, β = 99.6(1)°, Z = 4 for the bromine compound; the (2meptH2)[Pb1.5I5] crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group, with a = 11.803(3) A, b = 12.565(3) A, c = 8.494(8) A, α = 106.2(1)°, β = 100.5(1)°, γ = 117.4(1)°, Z = 2; the crystals of (pnH2)[PbCl4] are orthorhombic, space group P212121, a = 19.247(4) A, b = 7.862(2) A, c = 7.581(2) A, Z = 4; the (pnH2)2[Pb1.5Br7]·H2O crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group, with a = 11.517(3) A, b = 14.122(3) A, c = 8.149(2) A, α = 104.1(1)°, β = 109.8(1)°, γ = 77.5(1)°, Z ...
