Crystal structure and vibrational spectroscopy of hexa-amminechromium(III) pentachloromercurate(II)

Abstract

Crystals of the title compound are cubic, with a= 22.653 Å, Z= 32, space group Fd3c. The structure was solved from 249 counter intensities and refined by least-squares to R 4.46%. The [HgCl5]3– anion is a regular trigonal bipyramid, with axial bond lengths 2.518(4) and equatorial 2.640(4)Å. The highly significant difference between these values is compared with results for other MX5 species and with theoretical predictions. Vibrational data are reported also and tentatively assigned.
