Synthesis,Structure and Electrical Properties of Crown Ether-Imidazole Type Iron-Based Supramolecular Materials
This research aims to obtain a novel organic-inorganic hybrid supramolecular material(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)(FeCl4)-by natural evaporation method in acetonitrile solvent using imidaz-ole,ferric chloride and dibenzo-18-crown-6 as raw materials.Its structure and properties were characterized by infrared spectroscopy,single crystal X-ray diffraction,powder X-ray diffraction,dielectric constant ther-mogravimetric and electrochemistry analysis.The results of single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the space group of(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)(FeCl4)-at low temperature(100 K)and room tempera-ture(293 K)was Ia,which belonged to monoclinic system.In the space structure,the supramolecular cation(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)and the anion(FeCl4)-formed a two-dimensional network supramo-lecular structure by hydrogen-bonding interactions such as N-H…O,C-H…O,C-H…Cl.The dielectric test showed that(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)(FeCl4)-produced two stepped dielectric anomaly peaks in the temperature range of 160-200 K and 220-260 K during heating and cooling processes.The cyclic voltam-metry test showed that(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)(FeCl4)-had good electron transfer performance,in-dicating that(C3H5N2)+(DB-18-Crown-6)(FeCl4)-was a new type of dielectric anomaly and electrochem-ical performance material.
