Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, (NH4)3[Sb2I9], which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, resembles that of hexagonal Cs3[Sb2I9], which crystallizes in space group P\overline 3m1. The title compound consists of double layers parallel to (001). Each layer is made up of distorted corner-sharing SbI6 octahedra. One-third of the ammonium cations reside within six-membered rings formed by corner-sharing SbI6 octahedra within the layers. The other ammonium cations are situated within three-membered rings built from corner-sharing SbI6 octahedra near the edges of the layers.
