Crystal structure of AlPCl₈.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of aluminium phospho-rus chloride (systematic name: phospho-rus tetra-chloride tetra-chloridoa-luminate), (PCl₄)[AlCl₄] or AlPCl₈, was determined and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pbcm. The asymmetric unit comprises one Al atom, one P atom, and five Cl atoms. The structure is characterized by isolated AlCl₄ and PCl₄ tetra-hedra, isostructural with FePCl₈ and GaPCl₈.
