| Abstract: | The Crystal Structure of Nitrogen Triiodide-1-Pyridine NI3 · C5H5N The crystal structure of NI3 · C5H5N like “Nitrogen Triiodide” NI3 · NH3 contains NI4 tetrahedra as essential structure elements. The tetrahedra are connected by common corners, forming indefinite chains. The pyridine molecule is bonded by its lone electron pair to one of the two iodine atoms that do not participate in the connection of the tetrahedra. Different from NI3 · NH3 there are very weak intermolecular interactions between iodine atoms of neighbouring chains. |
