Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[As2Se4Cl12] und (PPh4)2[As2Se4Br12]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂As₂Se₄Cl₁₂] and (PPh₄)₂As₂Se₄Br₁₂] The reaction of PPh₄Cl and As₂Se₃ with SOCl₂ or with chlorine in dichloromethane affords (PPh₄)₂As₂Se₄Cl₁₂] with good yields. From PPh₄Br, As₂Se₃ and bromine the corresponding bromo compound was obtained. According to the X-ray crystal structure determinations both compounds are isotypic, crystallizing in the space group of P1 . In the anions two Se₂X₂ molecules are linked with two X^? ions forming an Se₄X₂ ring in chair conformation. Each X^?-ion is associated with an additional AsX₃ molecule (X = Cl, Br).
