Abstract

Mercury antimonide iodide, Hg₅Sb₂I₆, previously and erroneously reported as Hg₃Sb₂I₄ was synthesized using standard ampoule technique. A gas‐phase transport reaction was applied for preparation of single crystals. Hg₅Sb₂I₆ crystallizes in the space group Pc2₁n (No. 33) with unit cell dimensions: a = 8.108(1), b = 10.702(1), c = 21.295(1) Å. Crystal structure solved using single crystal X‐ray data is built of [HgSbI₃] tetrahedra and [HgSbI₂] triangles. All antimony atoms are joined into Sb₂⁴⁻ dumbbells. The structure is compared with ones containing similar Sb₂⁴⁻ dumbbells.
