Abstract

AbstractTetra(N,N′‐tetramethylurea)‐beryllium‐triiodide, [Be(TMU)4](I3)2 (1) was prepared from beryllium powder and iodine in N,N′‐tetramethylurea to give orange crystals, which were characterized by X‐ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy. Compound 1 crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/c with four formula units per unit cell. Lattice dimensions at 100(2) K: a = 1906.6(1), b = 1185.7(1), c = 1895.0(1) pm, β = 113.60(1) °, R1 = 0.0291. The structure of 1 consists of distorted tetrahedral cations [Be(TMU)4]2+ with Be–O bond lengths of 162.5(5) and 160.8(5) pm and triiodide ions without site symmetry.
