Starting materials: PbI2, HI (47%), hexanolamine (HOC6H12NH2)
Product: Orange crystals
Description: PbI2 (0.434 mmol; 0.200 g) was dissolved in 2 mL HI solution. Then HOC6H12NH2 (0.922 mmol; 0.108 g) was added. The precipitate was dissolved at room temperature via ultrasound. It is assumed that there was a substitution reaction that took place where the amine had an alcohol group substituted with an iodide atom. The solution was then cooled in a fridge to 5 degrees Celsius, causing orange crystals to precipitate.
Method: Single-crystal X-ray diffraction
Description: A Bruker SMART 1K CCD area detector diffractometer using Mo Kalpha radiation was used to measure SCXRD at 173 K. Omega-scans of width 0.3 degrees were used. The SAINT+ version 6.02 program was used for data reduction and the XPREP program was used for absorption corrections. SHELXS-97 was used to directly solve the structure. SHELXL-97 was used for refinement of the structure.
