Abstract
The complex (Br-C6H4NH3)(3)CdCl5 was prepared. Single-crystal X-ray analysi s revealed a novel structure, in which inorganic (CdCl5)(n) helical anion c hains are formed by CdCl6 octahedra sharing bridging chlorine atoms, while the organic ammoium cations are bonded along the chains through hydrogen bo nds. The complex is stable up to 140 degrees C; phase transition characteri stics were investigated by DTA-TGA.
