A New Metal-Organic Complex (Br-C6H3(I)-NH2)2CuBr2: Growth and Structural Properties

Metal-organic complexes are a class of promising functional materials, especially for thermoelectric materials. Here, for the first time, a new metal-organic complex (Br-C6H3(I)-NH2)(2)CuBr2 is designed and synthesized. (Br-C6H3(I)-NH2)(2)CuBr2 single crystals are obtained via a vapor diffusion method. X-ray single crystal diffraction results indicate that the material crystallizes in the triclinic system, with the space group P1 over bar $\overline{1}$ and the following crystal structural data: a = 4.7825(7) & ANGS;, b = 8.8072(12) & ANGS;, c = 11.4652(16) & ANGS;, & alpha; = 80.450(5)& DEG;, & beta; = 81.699(6)& DEG;, & gamma; = 80.824(5)& DEG;, V = 466.67(11) & ANGS;(3), and Z = 1. The structure of packing in the crystal is alternatively arranged composed of inorganic layers of CuBr2 and organic layers of Br-C6H3(I)-NH2. The molecular geometries structure of the crystal is discussed via intra and intermolecular interactions and molecular geometry. This work may provide a new material for new emerging high-performance thermoelectric materials.
