摘要

The title compound, catena-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine tris(mu(2)-chloro)-cadmium(II)), has a hexagonal perovskite-type structure with formula AMX(3). It undergoes a reversible dielectric transition at about 197 K. The transition was accompanied by significant dielectric anomaly, and was confirmed by DSC measurements. The variable-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the transition is a process of the doubling of the cell volume from P2(1)/m to P2(1)/a. The transition is caused by the order disorder change of the 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinium cation.
