RESUMEN
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid compound, named (1-phenylpiperazinium) trihydrogen triphosphate, with the formula (C10H15N2)2H3P3O10 has been obtained by low speed of evaporation of a mixture of an alcoholic solution of 1-phenylpiperazine and triphosphoric acid H5P3O10 at room temperature after using the ion exchange chemical procedure. To carry out a detailed crystallographic structure analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction has been reported. In the molecular arrangement, the different entities are held together through N-H O, O-H O, and C-H O hydrogen bonds, building up a three-dimensional packing. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis is acquired to confirm the purity of the product. The nature and the proportion of intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. In order to support the experimental results, a density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed, using the Becke-3-parameter-Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP) function with LANL2DZ basis set, and the data indicate much agreement between the experimental and the theoretical results. Thus, the physicochemical properties were studied employing a variety of techniques (FTIR, NMR, UV-visible, and photoluminescence). To get an insight of the possible employment of the present material in biology, cell viability assays were performed.
