Crystal structure, physical study and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (C9H26N4) [SnCl6]Cl2•2H2O

(C9H26N4)[SnCl6]Cl-2 center dot 2H(2)O has been synthesized in solution and its structure confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, with space group P2(1)/n (14), Z = 4, with refined cell parameters (angstrom,degrees) a = 10.7550(3), b = 15.3981(7), c = 13.8750(5), beta = 103.095(3), V = 2238.04(15) angstrom(3). The 3D framework of the title compound is made of free molecules 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane, [SnCl6], Cl atoms and water molecules, interacting through an intricate network of hydrogen-bonds and H center dot center dot center dot Cl interactions. The 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecane moiety is also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of (C9H26N4)[SnCl6]Cl-2 center dot 2H(2)O is elucidated. Preliminary investigations of the electrochemical performance of the title compound as an active material in a Li-ion battery have also been carried out.
