Li2Br(NH2): Das erste ternäre Alkalimetallamidhalogenid

Li₂Br(NH₂): The First Ternary Alkali Metal Amide Halide The pseudobinary system LiNH₂/LiBr was investigated by X-ray methods. The crystal structure of the compound Li₂Br(NH₂) was solved by single crystal data: Li₂Br(NH₂): Pnma, Z = 8, a = 12.484(2) Å, b = 7.959(1) Å, c = 6.385(1) Å, Z(F_o) with (F_o)² ≧ 3σ(F_o)² = 348, Z (parameter) = 51, R/R_w = 0.019/0.021 Li₂Br(NH₂) crystallizes in a new type of structure. To one another isolated chains of [Li₂Li_4/2(NH₂)₂²⁺] show the motif of closest rod packing. They are connected via bromide ions in a distorted cubic primitive arrangement.
