Strukturen von [Me4Sb]2[MeSbI4]MeSbI2, und [Me4Sb]I. Darstellung von Me3Sb · MeSbI2 und farbwechsel bei Me4Sb2 · Me2SbBr

Abstract The crystal structures of the complex [Me 4 Sb] 2 [MeSbI 4 ] ( 1 ) and its precursors MeSbI 2 ( 2 ) and [Me 4 Sb]I ( 3 ) are reported. In 1 there are tetrahedral cations and square pyramidal anions with Sb-I distances of 290–320 pm. The structure of 2 contains MeSbI 2 molecules. They associate via iodine bridges to form linear chains with alternating short and long Sb-I distances. The coordination around antimony is distorted tetragonal pyramidal. The tetrahedral coordination of the ions in 3 results in the formation of a wurtzite type structure with antimony-iodine distances of 406 and 435 pm. The novel adducts Me 3 Sb·Me 2 SbI 2 ( 4 ) and Me 2 SbSbMe 2 ·Me 2 SbBr ( 5 ) are formed…
