| Studies of Structure and Phase Transition in [C(NH 2 ) 3 ]HgBr 3 and [C(NH 2 ) 3 ]HgI 3 by Means of Halogen NQR, NMR, and Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction  | | | | Abstract
| The crystal structure of [C(NH 2) 3 ]HgBr 3 was determined at room temperature: monoclinic, space group C2/c, Z = 4, a = 775.0(2), b = 1564.6(2), c = 772.7(2) pm, ß = 109.12(2)°. In the crystal, almost planar HgBr 3 ~ ions are connected via Hg -Br bonds, resulting in single chains of trigonal bipyramidal HgBr 5 units which run along the c direction. [C(NH 2) 3 ]HgI 3 was found to be isomorphous with the bromide at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the halogen NQR frequencies (77 < 77K < ca. 380) and the DTA measurements evidenced no phase transition for the bromide, but a second-order phase transition at (251 ± 1) K (7 tl) and a first-order one at (210 ± 1) K (T C2) for the iodide. The transitions at T C2 are accompanied with strong supercooling and significant superheating. The room temperature phase (RTP) and the intermediate temperature phase (ITP) of the iodide are characterized by two I(m =i/2~3/2) NQR lines which are assigned to the terminal and the bridging I atoms, respectively. There exist three lines in the lowest temperature phase (LTP), indicating that the resonance line of the bridging atom splits into two. The signal intensities of the 127 I (m =i/2—3/2) NQR lines in the LTP decrease with decreasing temperature resulting in no detection below ca. 100 K. The 127 I(m =i/ 2 ~3/2) NQR frequency vs. temperature curves are continuous at T CL , but they are unusual in the LTP. The T X vs. Tcurves of 'H NMR for the bromide and iodide are explainable by the reorientational motions of the cations about their pseudo three-fold axes. The estimated activation energies of the motions are 35.0 kJ/mol for the bromide, and 24.1, 30.1, and 23.0 kJ/mol for the RTP, FTP, and LTP of the iodide, respectively. | | | |
