Abstract
Rb[(Zr6C)Cl15] was prepared by heating ZrCl4, Zr powder, RbCl and Al4C3 at 850 °C for 21 days. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (space group Pmma, a = 18.484(3), b = 18.962(2), c = 9.708(1) Å, V = 2505.4(6) Å3, and Z = 4). Rb[(Zr6C)Cl15] crystallises in the Cs[Nb6Cl15]-type structure. It is built up from two interconnected types of cluster chains, one with linear Zr−Cla−a-Zr bridges, the other one with bent bridges. The rubidium cations are spread over three different sites within the cluster network which differs significantly from the cation distribution in the comparable potassium and caesium phases. The cation distribution can be rationalised considering the size of the cavities and the Coulombic interactions.
