Abstract
The melting reaction of Ir with Bi and BiBr3 yields black, lustrous, air insensitive crystals of the subbromide Bi34Ir3Br37. The triclinic crystal structure (space group P1, a = b = 1303.4(2) pm, c = 1647.4(4) pm, α = β 90°, γ = 120°, V = 2423.7 × 106 pm3) deceives pseudo symmetry with respect to the rhombohedral space group R 3, which results in multiply twinned crystals. The structure can formally be subdivided in four new types of ionic groups: (a) cuboctahedral [IrBi6Br12]- clusters, (b) [IrBi6Br13]2- clusters with an additional Br atom, (c) Bi5+ square pyramids, and (d) distorted Bi62+ octahedra. The compound shows a range of homogeneity due to variable contributions of the different clusters.
