Physicochemical properties and structural dynamics of organic-inorganic hybrid [NH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃]ZnX₄ (X = Cl and Br) crystals.

ABSTRACT: The physical properties of the organic-inorganic hybrid crystals having the formula [NH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃]ZnX₄ (X = Cl, Br) were investigated. The phase transition temperatures (T_C; 268K for Cl and 272K for Br) of the two crystals bearing different halogen atoms in their skeletons were determined through differential scanning calorimetry. The thermodynamic properties of the two crystals were investigated through thermogravimetric analysis. The structural dynamics, particularly the role of the [NH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃] cation, were probed through ¹H and ¹³C magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a function of temperature. The ¹H and ¹³
