In this paper we present the synthesis method and a detailed description of the crystal structure, as well as thermal, dielectric and phonon properties, of the [CH3NH2CH2CH2NH2CH3][Zn2(HCOO)6] (dmenH2-Zn) metal organic framework. The negative charge of the anionic framework ([Zn2(HCOO)6]2-) is balanced by N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (dmenH22+) ions located in the voids of the framework. Thermal analysis revealed that dmenH2-Zn underwent a reversible structural phase transition at around room temperature (Tc~300 K). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed that dmenH22+ templates were dynamically disordered at 295 K, since N-H…O bonds were too weak to surmount their thermally activated motions. Reduction in the temperature resulted in ordering of the dmenH22+ cations as a consequence of freezing of their reorientational movements. This behavior caused a symmetry change from P-31c (trigonal) to C 2/c (monoclinic). The mechanism of the observed phase transition of dmenH2-Zn compound was also investigated by temperature-dependent IR measurements. These spectroscopic studies showed that the ordering of the dmenH22+ ions also resulted in the distortion of the anionic framework. Dielectric investigations revealed the occurrence of the dipolar relaxation process clearly defined in the monoclinic phase. The asymmetric shape of the studied process, which indicated a non-Debye-like relaxation, was analyzed using the Havriliak–Negami relaxation function, leading to an Ea value of approximately 0.36 eV. |
