Starting materials: PbI2, HI(47%), propanolamine (HOC3H6NH2)
Product: Yellow crystals
Description: PbI2 (0.610 mmol; 0.281 g) was dissolved in 1.5 mL HI solution. Then HOC3H6NH2 (0.945 mmol; 0.071 g) was added and was dissolved by refluxing for 2 hours at 90 degrees Celsius. 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 at 2 degrees Celsius per hour to room temperature, causing yellow 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.
