Synthese und Kristallstruktur von Rb8[P4N6(NH)4](NH2)2 mit dem adamantanartigen Anion [P4N6(NH)4]6−

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Rb₈[P₄N₆(NH)₄](NH₂)₂ with the Adamantane-like Anion [P₄N₆(NH)₄]^6? RbNH₂ reacts with P₃N₅ (molar ratio 6:1) at 400°C within 5 d to colourless Rb₈[P₄N₆(NH)₄](NH₂)₂. Suitable crystals for a X-ray structure determination were obtained: The compound contains adamantane-like molecular anions [P₄N₆(NH)₄]^6?. Their centres of gravity are arranged in a distorted hexagonal primitive array. All trigonal prisms of this array contain one amide ion. Rubidium ions connect the anions irregularly.
