Synthesis and Crystal Structures of the Alkali-tetraiodoindates(III), AInI4 (A = Li, K, Rb, Cs)Single crystals of the yellow alkaliiodoindates(III), AInI4 (A = Li, K, Rb, Cs), are obtained from mixtures of the binary components by slow cooling of the melts. LiInI4 is isotypic with LiAlCl4: monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4; a = 838.9(4); b = 751.2(3); c = 1526,7(8) pm; β = 92.67(4)°. KInI4 belongs to the ATIX4 type of structure (A = NH4, K, Rb; X = Br, I): cubic, F4 3c, Z = 24; a = 1990.8(1) pm. RbInI4 crystallizes with the β-GaBr2 type: trigonal, R3c, Z = 18; a = 2452.6(6); c = 978.6(4) pm. CsInI4 is isostructural with CsTII4: monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4; a = 738.4(1); b = 1875.7(3); c = 853.6(2) pm; β = 105.75(2)°. In all structures almost regular tetrahedral polyhedra [InI4]- occur. The coordination numbers of the alkali cations cover the wide range from 6 (Li+) via 9 (Rb+) and 11 (Cs+) to 12 (K1+).
Notes:
Einkristalle der gelben Iodoindate(III) der Alkalimetalle, AInI4 (A = Li, K, Rb, Cs), erhält man aus Gemengen der binären Komponenten durch langsames Abkühlen der Schmelzen. LiInI4 ist isotyp mit LiAlCl4: monoklin, P21/c, Z = 4; a = 838,9(4); b = 751,2(3); c = 1526,7(8) pm; β = 92,67(4)°. KInI4 gehört zum ATIX4-Typ (A= NH4, K, Rb; X= Br, I): kubisch, F4 3c, Z = 24; a = 1990,8(1) pm. RbInI4 kristallisiert im β-Ga[GaBr4]-Typ: trigonal, R3c, Z = 18; a = 2452,6(6); c = 978,6(4) pm. CsInI4 ist isotyp mit CsTII4: monoklin, P21/c, Z = 4; a = 738,4(1); b = 1875,7(3); c = 853,6(2) pm; β = 105,75(2)°. Stets liegen annähernd tetraedrische Baugruppen [InI4]- vor. Die Koordinationszahlen der Alkali-Kationen überstreichen das Spektrum von 6 (Li+) über 9 Rb+, 11 (Cs+) bis 12 (K1+).
