Synthese und Strukturuntersuchungen von Iodocupraten(I). IX. Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von Cs3Cu2I5 und RbCu2I3

Syntheses and Structure Analyses of Iodocuprates (I). IX. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Cs₃Cu₂I₅ and RbCu₂I₃ Cs₃Cu₂I₅ and RbCu₂I₃] were prepared by the reaction of CsI or RbI with CuI in solution (acetonitrile or acetone) or by solid state reaction. The crystal structure analysis of Cs₃Cu₂I₅ (orthorhombic, Pbnm, a = 1438.6(6), b = 1014.7(5), c = 1167.5(5) pm, Z = 4) shows, that the compound contains dinuclear anions Cu₂I₅^3? in which the I atoms are arranged to trigonal bipyramids; one Cu^I occupies one of the two I tetrahedral holes, the other a trigonal site of the neighbouring tetrahedron. RbCu₂I₃] (orthorhombic, Cmcm, a = 1070.6(7), b = 1338.3(8), c = 572.8(3) pm, Z = 4) is built up by CuI₄ double chains; the compound is isomorphic with CsCu₂I₃].
