Abstract

Abstract : In(iii )-Based morpholinium complex, [C4 H10 NO] + [InCl5 (C4 H10 NO)] − : crystal structure, origin of the structure polarity, and evidence of piezoelectric properties. Abstract : Among materials with six-membered aliphatic rings coordinated to a metal center, the[C4 H10 NO] + [InCl5 (C4 H10 NO)] − morpholinium complex is a rare example of a system characterized by a polar crystal structure. The noncentrosymmetry results from the unidirectional alignment of the z components of the dipole moments of both anionic and cationic units. The anomalies observed on the electric permittivity curves are characteristic of acentric materials and confirm that the crystals possess piezoelectric properties. A discussion regarding the potential ferroelectric properties of the compound is provided.
