Abstract

P3Se4I is formed by the reaction of molten P4Se3 and I2. P3Se4I is monoclinic, space group P21/c with the lattice parameters of a = 1130.3(3) pm, b = 654.5(2) pm, c =1420.5(4) pm, β - 117.64(2)°. d = 3.87 g cm-3 and dx = 3.82 g cm-3 for Z = 4. The structure of the molecule is derived from the structure of α-or β-P4Se3I2 by the substitution of a P−I group by a Se-atom. The P−I, P−P and Se−Se bond lengths are 249.9, 219.2 and 236.9 pm. resp. The mean P−Se bond length is 225.0 pm. The molecule is stabilized by two weak intramolecular P−Se and P−I bonds, comparable to the bonding situation in α-P4Se3I2 . The 31P NMR spectra reveal a coalescence effect, due to equilibrium between two isomeric forms of the molecules.
