The structure of bis(trimethylammonium) undecachlorotriantimonate(III) [(CH3)3NH]2Sb3Cl11 containing a novel antimony(III) anion

1999

The structure of [(CH3)3NH]2Sb3Cl11 (space group P21/n; a = 10.374(2), b = 23.723(5), c = 11.884(2) Å, β = 113.46(3)°; V = 2682.9(9) Å3) consists of a structurally novel [Sb3Cl2−11] anion and two crystallographically nonequivalent trimethylammonium cations. The anion is composed of three deformed octahedra in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. The octahedra are connected with each other by edges and corners forming a characteristic polyanionic layer. Trimethylammonium cations, one ordered and one disordered, are connected to the inorganic sublattice by N—H· · ·Cl hydrogen bonds.
