Abstract

The sandwich dimeric structure of di-μ-iodo-bis[(1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxa­cyclo­octa­decane)­caesium(I)] p-xyl­ene solvate, [Cs2I2(C12H24O6)2]·C8H10, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex adopts an encapsulate of a molecular dimeric array [Cs(18-crown-6)(μ-I)]2·C8H10. Two Cs(18-crown-6)+ moieties are doubly linked by two iodide ions. The mol­ecule has crystallographic 2/m (C2h) symmetry.
