Crystal structure, DSC, TGA and electrical studies of Bis (1,12-dodecamethylenediammonium hexachlorobismuthate chloride dihydrate (C12H30N2)2BiCl6.Cl·2H2O

(C12H30N2)2BiCl6.Cl·2H2O compound crystallizes at 296 K in triclinic system with P-1 space group [Z = 2; a = 10.532(3) Å, b = 12.143(4) Å, c = 16.295(5) Å; α = 97.543(13)°, β = 101.451(14)°, δ = 97.484(13)°]. DSC analysis showed three anomalies (338 K, 347 K, and 367 K) in heating, not reproducible in cooling, which are due to dehydratation process, above which a stable anhydrous compound undergoes a second order phase transition at 483/470 K...
