Abstract
Abstract The structure of (C2H5NH3)3Sb2Cl9 • (C2H5NH3)SbCl4 at 295 K has been determined. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Pna21 (a -16.925(3), b = 24.703(5), c = 7.956(2) Å, V = 3326.4(12) Å3 , Z = 4, dc= 2.018, dm= 2.01(1) Mg m-3). They consist of an anionic sublattice composed of two different polymeric zig-zag chains. One is built of Sb2Cl9 3- units (corner sharing octahedra) and the other one is made of corner sharing SbCl5 2-square pyramids. In the cavites between the polyanionic chains four non-equivalent ethylammonium cations are located. Three of them are disordered. The cations are connected to the anions by weak N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds. A first order phase transition of the order-disorder type was found at 274 K. It was studied by DSC, dielectric and X-ray diffraction methods. The mechanism of the phase transition is attributed to the ordering of at least one of the ethylammonium cations
