Abstract

The crystal structure of Hg₇Sb₄Br₆ (previously reported as HgSbBr) has been solved by the X-ray single crystal technique. Hg₇Sb₄Br₆ crystallizes in the cubic system, space group Pa3, Z = 4, with cell dimensions a = 12.9940(9)Å. The structure consists of the three-dimensional positively charged [Hg₆Sb₄]⁴⁺ shell, and octahedral [HgBr₆]^4- anions. The antimony atoms in the shell are bound into Sb^4-₂ dumbells with short SbSb distance of 2.77 Å. The possible migration of Hg²⁺ ions along the fourfold axis is suggested.
