Abstract
Reddish-brown crystals of [Na(12-crown-4)2]I3 (1) and [Rb(12-crown-4)2]I3 (2) were formed through the reaction of NaI or RbI, I2 and 12-crown-4 in ethanol. Both structures are triclinic, space group P1¯ with Z = 2. The lattice parameters are a = 8.505(2), b = 14.280(3), c = 10.695(2) Å and α = 89.86(2)°, β = 80.00(2)° and γ = 85.90(2)°; and a = 10.694(2), b = 11.598(2), c = 12.718(2) Å and α = 71.00(2)°, β = 86.97(2)° and γ = 67.710(10)° for 1 and 2, respectively. Both crystal structures contain one independent complex cation without crystallographic symmetry. The anionic parts of both structures consist of two crystallographically independent, isolated, triiodide anions I3- with crystallographic inversion symmetry. The cations are distorted sandwich-like complexes with two 12-crown-4 molecules surrounding the alkali metal atom in the center.
