Synthesis, crystal growth, and physical characterization of inorganic-organic hybrid material: Bis (4-methylbenzylammonium) tetraiodo cadmate (II) crystal.

New Inorganic-Organic hybrid crystalline material, bis (4-methyl benzyl ammonium) tetraiodo Cadmate (II) was synthesized by a slow evaporation solution growth method using deionized water as a solvent. From the single XRD characterization, the crystal structure and cell parameters were identified. EDS analysis has been carried out to confirm the elements present in the compound. The FT-IR spectrum showed that the different symmetry of vibrations of molecules in the crystal. The UV-Vis absorption measurement was carried out in the range between 200-800 nm for the grown crystal. Thermal analysis was performed to find out thermal stability of the compound and it is found to be thermally stable up to 129 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
