Crystal Structure of Thallium(I) Hexaiodomercurate(II), Tl4HgI6In the structure of the tetragonal Tl4HgI6 (a = 944.6 pm, c = 926.0 pm, Z = 2, space group P 4/mnc) isolated, in c-direction compressed HgI6 octahedra are situated. The mercury atoms are disordered; they occupy statistically 4 positions in the equatorial plane of the octahedra in such a manner that strongly deformed HgI4 tetrahedra are produced. The thallium atoms are eightfold coordinated like a bicapped trigonal prism. The relationship between the Tl4HgI6 structure and the cubical K2PtCl6 type will be discussed.
Notes:
In der Struktur des tetragonalen Tl4HgI6 (a = 944,6 pm, c = 926,0 pm, Z = 2, Raumgruppe P 4/mnc) liegen isolierte, in Richtung der c-Achse gestauchte HgI6-Oktaeder vor. Die Quecksilberatome sind fehlgeordnet; sie besetzen statistisch 4 Positionen in der Äquatorebene der Oktaeder derart, daß stark verzerrte HgI4-Tetraeder entstehen. Die Thallium-Atome sind achtfach in Form eines bicapped trigonalen Prismas koordiniert. Die Beziehungen der Tl4HgI6-Struktur zum kubischen K2PtCl6-Typ werden diskutiert.
