Abstract Cs2Na[Bi(SCN)6] crystallizes in the trigonal space group $$P\bar 3$$ with one formal molecule per unit cell.M=846.25,a=7.189(1),c=10.580(2) Å,V=473.5(1) Å,D x =2.967 g cm−3, μ(MoKα)=13.70 mm−1,F(000)=378. FinalR=0.029 for 917 absorption-corrected reflections. The structure consists of infinite[Bi(SCN)6Na] ∞ 2− anionic chains along thec axis with slightly distorted octahedral Bi−6S and Na−6N coordination and Cs+ ions surrounded by three anionic chains with irregular coordination by six N and three S atoms. X-ray powder diffractograms of three complexes, Cs2Na[Bi(SCN)6−x Cl x ] withx=2, 3 and 4, indicate that the mixed complexes are not isostructural and can be indexed in different orthorombic unit cells witha=14.617(8),b=12.32(1),c=10.769(6) Å forx=2;a=15.37(1),b=10.81(1),c=10.287(6) Å forx=3 anda=14.662(7),b=14.366(7),c=7.932(4) Å forx=4. The two dinuclear complexes Cs2Na[Bi2(SCN)9−x Cl x ] withx=2 and 3, despite the large similarity of their diffractograms, are not isostructural and can be indexed in different orthorombic unit cells witha=14.79(1),b=13.72(1),c=10.591(5) Å forx=2 anda=18.423(8),b=15.657(7),c=7.410(7) Å forx=3.
