Röntgenstrukturbestimmung von AlCl3-Pyridin-Addukten: Der strukturelle Aufbau im trans-Dichlorotetrakis(pyridin)aluminium(III)- Tetrachloroaluminat(III) und im Trichlorotris(pyridin)aluminium(III) / X-ray Diffraction Study of AICl3-Pyridine Adducts: The Crystal Structure of trans-Dichlorotetrakis(pyridine)aluminium(III)tetrachloroaluminat(III) and of Trichlorotris(pyridine)aluminium(III)

Abstract

Abstract Crystals of [Al(C5H5N)4Cl2][AlCl4] are orthorhombic, Pna21, Z = 4, a = 18.522(7), b = 15.141(5), c = 9.593(3) Å, V = 2690(2) Å3 , Dc = 1.440 g/cm3 . The structure has been solved from 5968 diffractometer measured intensities and refined by full-matrix least squares to Rw(F) = 0.032. The crystal structure shows the complex to be trans-dichloro-tetrakis(pyridine)aluminium(III) tetrachloroaluminat(III). The mean trans Al-Cl-and trans Al-N-distances in the octahedron are 2.279(3) and 2.070(4) Å, respectively. Crystals of Al(C5H5N)3Cl3 are monoclinic, P21/c, Z = 4, a = 7.261(2), b = 29.961(4), c = 8.624(1) Å, β = 98.12(2)°, V -1857(1) Å3 , DC = 1.326 g/cm3 . The structure has been solved from 4707 diffractometer measured intensities and refined to Rw(F) = 0.028. The crystal structure shows octahedral complexes AlCl3·3 (C5H5N) with trans geometry. The Al-N-distance trans to chlorine (2.096(2) Å) is significantly longer than the two other Al-N-distances (mean 2.072(2) Å).
