Abstract
Al2Sb2I12 (1) was prepared by heating stoichiometric amounts of AlI3 and SbI3 in CS2. The crystal structure of 1 was determined from single crystal X-ray data. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 1644.0(3), b = 1318.3(2), c = 728.9(1) pm, β = 119.33(1)°, and Z = 2. The structure was refined by least squares methods to a final unweighted R value of 0.064 for 676 nonequivalent reflections. The structure is built up of Al2Sb2I12 units in which two Sb-I octahedra share four common edges with two Al-I tetrahedra. As a consequence of the stereochemical activity of the non-bonding electron pair of antimony these cations are displaced from the centers of the iodine octahedra so that three different Sb-I bonds with distances of 270.8, 312.3, and 358.9 pm are observed in 1. The structure of Al2Sb2I12 can also be derived from the layer structures of the BiI3 type
