Rb2I(OH): Ein Hydroxidiodid im System RbOH/RbI

Rb₂I(OH): A Hydroxide Iodide in the System RbOH/RbI The pseudobinary system RbOH/RbI was investigated by X-ray methods. The crystal structure of Rb₂I(OH) was solved by single crystal data: Rb₂I(OH): Pnma, Z = 4, a = 7.748(1) Å, b = 5.654(2) Å,c = 13.254(2) Å Z(F_o) with (F_o)² ? 3σ = (F_o)² = 449, Z (parameter) = 25, R/R_w = 0.021/0.023 Rb₂I(OH) crystallizes in a new type of structure, built up by a three dimensional network of [Rb₂(OH)⁺] containing the iodide ions.
