Ionothermal Synthesis of Sulfidobismuth spiro-Dicubane Cations
Knies, Maximilian,Ruck, Michael
, (2022)
Bi2S3 was dissolved in the presence of NaCl in the ionic liquid [BMIm]Cl ? 4AlCl3 (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) through annealing the mixture at 180 °C. Upon cooling to room temperature, orange, air-sensitive crystals of Na(Bi7S8)[S(AlCl3)3]2[AlCl4]2 (1) precipitated. X-ray diffraction on single-crystals of 1 revealed a triclinic crystal structure that contains (Bi7S8)5+ spiro-dicubanes, [S(AlCl3)3]2? tetrahedra triples, isolated [AlCl4]? tetrahedra, and sodium cations.
