Bi24Ru3Br20: A Pseudo-Tetragonal Structure with [RuBi6Br12] Clusters and [Ru2Bi17Br4] GroupsThe melting reaction of Ru with Bi and BiBr yields black, lustrous, air insensitive crystals of the subbromide Bi24Ru3Br20. The orthorhombic crystal structure (space group Pc21n, a = b = 1377.8(1) pm, c = 3222.3(4) pm, V = 6117.0 · 106 pm3) deceives pseudo-symmetry with respect to the tetragonal space group P4/ncc leading to multiply twinned crystals. The structure can formally be subdivided in [RuBi6Br12] clusters, [Ru2Bi17Br4] stacks, and [BiBr4] groups.
Notes:
Aus der Schmelzreaktion von Ru mit Bi und BiBr3 werden schwarze, metallisch glänzende und luftbeständige Kristalle des Subbromids Bi24Ru3Br20 erhalten. Die orthorhombische Kristallstruktur (Raumgruppe Pc21n, a = b = 1377,8(1) pm, c = 3222,3(4) pm, V = 6117,0 · 106 pm3) täuscht die Pseudosymmetrie der tetragonalen Raumgruppe P4/ncc vor, was zu mehrfach verzwillingten Kristallen führt. Die Struktur läßt sich formal in [RuBi6Br12]-Cluster, [Ru2Bi17Br4]-Stapel und [BiBr4]-Gruppen aufgliedern.
