[Ba(Benzo-15-Krone-5)2](In)2: Darstellung und strukturelle Charakterisierung eines Triiodids (n = 3) und eines Heptaiodids (n = 7)
Abstract
[Ba(benzo-15-crown-5)2](I3)2 and [Ba(benzo-15-crown-5)2](I7)2 can be obtained in crystalline form by reacting benzo-15-crown-5 (C14H20O5), barium iodide (BaI2), and iodine (I2) in ethan-ole /dichloromethane. The triiodide consists of a sandwich-like cation [Ba(benzo-15-crown-5)2]2+ and an isolated symmetrically linear I3- anion. The unusual I7- anion in the heptaiodide can be described as a V-shaped pentaiodide unit, which is connected with a slightly widened iodine molecule to the rare Z-form of the heptaiodide ion. In the crystal structure, secondary bonding distances lead to almost planar ten-membered iodine rings, which are connected by common edges to form staircase-like bands.
