Ternary Complexes of BiI₃/CuI and SbI₃/CuI with Tetrahydrothiophene.

ABSTRACT: Reactions of BiI₃/CuI mixtures with tetrahydrothiophene (THT) in toluene produce 2-D sheet networks BiCu₃I₆(THT)_n (n = 2, 3, or 4), depending on reaction conditions. All three structures are based on BiI₆ octahedra, which share pairs of (μ₂-I)₂ with Cu₃(THT)_n units. BiCu₃I₆(THT)₂ features Cu₂(μ₂-I)₂ rhombs with close Cu···Cu interactions and is accompanied by formation of the very complex HBi₃Cu₁₂I₂₂(THT)₈. Reactions of SbI₃/CuI with THT in toluene produced a SbCu₃I₆(THT)₂ network shows Cu₃(μ₂-THT)<
