Abstract
Abstract This paper repotts the synthesis and the structural, thermal and electrical characterization of the 2-methyl-pentane-1,5-diammonium bidimensional chlorocadmate(II) system with perovskite-like structure. Its structure consists of layers of CdCl6 corner-sharing octahedra extending in the ab plane. Interposed sheets of organic dications link adjacent layers through hydrogen bonding and contribute to the crystal packing. The presence of a methyl group on the C(4) atom of the organic chain is considered responsible for the thermal stability of the compound between room and melting temperature (605 K). The compound behaves as an electrical insulator at low temperature approaching semiconducting values at higher temperature. These results are also compared with those found for other structurally similar compounds.
