Abstract
AbstractThe crystal structure of cesium phenylacetylide, CsC2C6H5, was solved and refined from synchrotron powder diffraction data (Pbca, Z = 8). Each Cs+ cation is coordinated by five ligands: four acetylide groups coordinate side‐on and one end‐on. A similar arrangement is found in the crystal structure of NaC2H (P4/nmm, Z = 2). There is a group‐subgroup relationship between both structures. Most importantly, the crystal structure of CsC2C6H5 could only be solved with the help of synchrotron data, as the very good peak:noise ratio allowed the assignment of several very weak reflections, which finally led to the correct space group, in which a structural solution was possible using direct space methods.
