Synthesis and Structure of the bismuth complex [Ph₃PrP] ₄ ⁺ [Bi₄I₁₆]

The complex [Ph₃P] ₄ ⁺ [Bi₄I₁₆]⁴⁻ · 2 Me₂C=O (I) was synthesized by the reaction of triphenyl(propyl)phosphonium iodide with bismuth iodide in acetone. The crystal structure of complex I was determined by X-ray crystallography. It contains, in addition to solvent molecules, two types of crystallogra...

Description
Summary:The complex [Ph₃P] ₄ ⁺ [Bi₄I₁₆]⁴⁻ · 2 Me₂C=O (I) was synthesized by the reaction of triphenyl(propyl)phosphonium iodide with bismuth iodide in acetone. The crystal structure of complex I was determined by X-ray crystallography. It contains, in addition to solvent molecules, two types of crystallographically independent tetrahedral tetraphenyl(propyl)phosphonium cations and tetranuclear anions [Bi₄I₁₆]⁴⁻ in a chair conformation with the bismuth atoms being in an octahedral coordination. The Bi-I distances in the anion vary within 2.8768(4)-3.2524(4) Å.
