Bi37InBr48: A polar subhalide with Bi95+ polycations, complex bromobismuthate(III) anions [Bi3Br13]4- and [Bi7Br30]9-, and pentabromoindate(III) anions [InBr5]2-

Black crystals of Bi37InBr48 were synthesized from bismuth, indium and BiBr3 by cooling stoichiometric melts from 570 K to 470 K. X-ray diffraction on powders and single-crystals revealed that the compound crystallizes with space group P 63 (a = 2262.6(4); c = 1305.6(2) pm). The Bi95+ polycations in the polar crystal structure have the shape of heavily distorted tricapped trigonal prisms with approximate Cs symmetry. The high complexity of the structure results from three coexisting types of anionic groups: Three edge-sharing [BiBr6] octahedra constitute the trigonal bromobismuthate(III) anion [Bi3Br13]4-. Four [BiBr6] and three [BiBr5] polyhedra share common vertices to form the [Bi7Br30]9- hemi-sphere, in which the trigonal bipyramid of the pentabromoindat(III) ion [InBr5]2- is embedded.

Evaporation of indium tribromide and dissoziation In2Br6,g = 2 InBr3,g

The sublimation, evaporation and dissoziation of In2Br6 was determined by total pressure measurements in a membran-zero-manometer. The enthalpies and entropies of sublimation, evaporation and dissoziation were derived from the temperature dependence of total pressure and the equilibrium constant. The resulting enthalpy of melting was correlated with the data following from DTA measurements. The domination gaseous species over InBrx mixtures were determined by mass spectrometry.
