Crystals of the one-dimensional organic–inorganic lead iodide-based compound catena-poly[bis­(piperazine-1,4-diium) [[tetra­iodido­plumbate(II)]-μ-iodido] iodide monohydrate], (C4N2H12)2[PbI5]I·H2O, were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature of a solution containing lead iodide and piperazine in a 1:2 molar ratio. Inorganic lead iodide chains, organic (C4N2H12)2+ cations, water mol­ecules of crystallization and isolated I anions are connected through N—H⋯·I, N—H⋯OW and OW—H⋯I hydrogen-bond inter­actions. Zigzag chains of corner-sharing [PbI6]4− octa­hedra with composition [PbI4/1I2/2]3− running parallel to the a axis are present in the structure packing.

1. Chemical context

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials offer the opportunity to combine the desirable properties of the organic moiety such as processability, toughness and impact strength with the typical properties of the inorganic part such as high temperature stability and durability. The opto-electronic characteristics of hybrid materials are closely related to the metal cluster size. In recent years, a significant number of organic–inorganic hybrid materials based on lead halide units have been prepared and studied (Billing & Lemmerer, 2006[Billing, D. G. & Lemmerer, A. (2006). Acta Cryst. C62, m264-m266.]; Rayner & Billing, 2010[Rayner, M. K. & Billing, D. G. (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, m660.]), in particular with self-organized low-dimensional families of lead iodide-based crystals where the [PbI6] octa­hedra form one-, two- or three-dimensional networks (Elleuch et al., 2007[Elleuch, S., Boughzala, H., Driss, A. & Abid, Y. (2007). Acta Cryst. E63, m306-m308.]; Trigui et al., 2011[Trigui, A., Boughzala, H., Driss, A. & Abid, Y. (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, m458-m459.]). In one-dimensional lead halide hybrid compounds, the inorganic chains may be formed by one, two or three bridging halides, referred to as corner-, edge- and face-sharing polyhedra, respectively. Thanks to their anti­cipated electroluminescence, photoluminescence and non-linear optical properties, these compounds are the most desired ones (Lemmerer & Billing, 2006[Lemmerer, A. & Billing, D. G. (2006). Acta Cryst. C62, m597-m601.]). Lead iodide-based hybrid materials are studied extensively for their excitonic and magneto-optical properties. In this work we report the synthesis and crystal structure determination of a new lead iodide hybrid, (C4N2H12)2[PbI5]·I·H2O, (I)[link].

2. Structural commentary

The structural units of (I) consist of one piperazine mol­ecule, one water mol­ecule, one isolated iodine and one [PbI6] unit (Fig. 1[link]). The electrical neutrality is ensured by two organic mol­ecules of doubly protonated piperazine.

Atomic displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level and H atoms are shown as small spheres of arbitrary radius. [Symmetry codes: (i) x, [{1\over 2}] − y, z; (ii) −[{1\over 2}] + x, [{1\over 2}] − y, [{1\over 2}] − z.]

The main part of the inorganic moiety is composed by the lead Pb2+ cation which adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordin­ation. The angles between cis-related I ions range from 85.022 (12) to 96.89 (3)° at most, whereas the trans angles deviate from 180° by 12.95 (3)° (Table 1[link]). Two adjacent corners connect the [PbI6] octa­hedron to its neighbours, leading to zigzag chains running parallel to the a axis (Fig. 2[link]). This one-dimensional anionic network leaves empty spaces in which the organic cations are located. The [PbI6] octa­hedra establish two strong hydrogen bonds (Table 2[link]), N2—H4N⋯I3 and N2i—H4Ni⋯I3, via the I3 corners [symmetry code: (i) x, [{1\over 2}] − y, z] as illustrated in Fig. 3[link].

The second part of the inorganic moiety contains a water mol­ecule and the iodide anion I5 linked by a strong hydrogen-bond inter­action (Table 2[link]). Both are located in the same layers in which the [PbI6] octa­hedra are located. As shown in Fig. 4[link], the anion I5 is linked to one water mol­ecule by I5⋯HW1i–OWi [symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, [{1\over 2}] + y, 1 − z] and two organic cations via I5⋯H2Nii—N1ii and I5⋯H2Niii—N1iii [symmetry codes: (ii) [{1\over 2}] + x, [{3\over 2}] − y, [{1\over 2}] − z; (iii) [{1\over 2}] + x, y, [{1\over 2}] − z]. On the other hand, the water mol­ecule is associated to one iodine (I5) via OW—HW1⋯I5iii [symmetry code: (iii) 1 − x, −[{1\over 2}] + y, 1 − z) and to two piperazinium cations via OW⋯H1Nii—N1ii and OW⋯H1Ni—N1i (Fig. 5[link]). In this configuration, no acceptor was found for HW2 and H3N.

The six-membered piperazinium cation ring adopts a chair conformation. It inter­acts with the inorganic chain via strong N2—H4N⋯I3 hydrogen bonds with a 2.85 Å bond length (Table 2[link] and Fig. 6[link]). In the crystal structure, the piperazinium cations are also linked to the water mol­ecule by an N1—H1N⋯OWiii hydrogen bond and to the iodine anion by N1—H2N⋯I5iii hydrogen bonds.

Compared to its homologous hybrids, the structure of the title compound exhibits an original arrangement of the inorganic layers. It is composed by two parts: the first are the [PbI6] octa­hedra sharing adjacent corners and so assembling into chains running along the [100] direction. The second original feature is the structural cohesion by water mol­ecules and isolated iodide anions. This structural arrangement will probably have an impact on the dielectric behavior of the material. Luminescence and UV–visible spectroscopy measurements of this compound, coupled to theoritical calculation of the Highest Occupied Mol­ecular Orbital (HOMO) and Lowest Unoccupied Mol­ecular Orbital (LUMO) electronic transitions are in progress.

As shown in Fig. 7[link], the structure of (I)[link] is self-assembled into alternating organic and inorganic layers parallel to the ac plane. The organic part is made up of (C4H12N2)2+ cations located in the voids around the corner-sharing [PbI6]4− octa­hedra. The iodine anions and the water mol­ecules connect the organic and inorganic sheets by strong hydrogen-bond inter­actions.

4. Database survey

Using the piperazine-1,4-diium cation scheme in the similarity option of the WEBCSD inter­face (Groom & Allen, 2014[Groom, C. R. & Allen, F. H. (2014). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53, 662-671.]), more than 90 records are found in the CCDC database. Only 24 are inorganic–organic hybrid compounds with several metals Cu, Zn, Co, Bi, Cd, Sb, Au etc. The closest chemical composition found is a bis­muth-based compound (II): (C4N2H12)2[BiCl6]·Cl·H2O (Gao et al., 2011[Gao, Y.-H., Liu, X.-J., Sun, L. & Le, W.-J. (2011). Acta Cryst. E67, m1688.]). In spite of the chemical formula similarity, it seems that the ortho­rhom­bic (Pnma) title structure is much more regular than the monoclinic (P21/c) compound (II) with approximately the same cell volume, where the small difference is probably due to the chlorine/iodine substitution. In contrast to the structure of (I)[link], the anionic network in the structure of (II) is 0-D, built up by isolated [BiCl6] octa­hedra. The water mol­ecule and the isolated halogen play, in both cases, the same crucial role in the structural cohesion, linking the anionic part to the organic moieties.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

Crystals of the title compound were prepared by slow evaporation at room temperature by mixing 1,4-di­aza­cyclo­hexane (C4H10N2) (2 mol) with a solution of lead iodide PbI2 (1 mol) in an equimolar mixture of ethanol and DMF. After several weeks, the obtained crystals were isolated and dried.

6. Refinement

Data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. Hydrogen atoms were placed using geometrical constraints using adequate HFIX instructions (SHELXL) and refined with AFIX instructions. Water hydrogen atoms were found in Fourier difference maps and O—H distances were restrained using DFIX (0.86 Å) and DANG instructions.

Experimental. Number of psi-scan sets used was 4 Theta correction was applied. Averaged transmission function was used. No Fourier smoothing was applied.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
