Experimental and theoretical investigations of the molecular structure, the spectroscopic properties and TD-DFT analysis of a new semiconductor hybrid based iron (III)‎

الملخص EN

In this work, a new hybrid material (C5H6N2Cl)2[FeCl4].Cl abbreviated (CAP)2[FeCl4].Cl was prepared using room temperature slow evaporation technique.

The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the compound is crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P21/c of the monoclinic system.

The crystallographic network consists of an Fe(III) ion located on an inversion center and coordinated by four chlorine, isolated Cl– and two (CAP)+ protonated cations linked by N–H...Cl and C–H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form a zero-dimensional network.

Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to analyze intermolecular interactions present in the crystal structure.

The vibrational properties were inspected by means of Infra-Red absorption and Raman diffusion spectroscopy techniques.

In addition, theoretical calculations based on the DFT/B3LYP/LanL2DZ method and the time-dependent density functional theory (TD–DFT) were performed in order to gain more information and help in the examination of over-all properties of the title compound.

Good and interesting experimental findings were presented and good consistency was found with the calculated results.
