Abstract
This work describes the theoretical studies of the reactivity, electrical and thermodynamic properties of a novel organo-chlorocadmate complex (C6H20N3)2[Cd2Cl10] and its inorganic and organic acid derivatives. The synthesis and crystal structure are described, with the compound crystallizing in the orthorhombic (Pnma) space group with unit cell parameters: a = 7.25494(11) Å, b = 29.3000(5) Å, c = 7.33927(13) Å. The semi-empirical calculations reveal that not only are all of the derivatives semiconductors, but also that the inclusion of acids in the structure alter the electrical and thermodynamic properties significantly, demonstrating a systematic and easy method for tuning the materials reactivity along with other desirable properties.
