Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of the organic-inorganic hybrid compound tris-(2-iodo-ethyl-ammonium) hexa-iodido-bis-muthate(III).

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title organic-inorganic salt, (IC₂H₄NH₃)₃[BiI₆], consists of a [BiI₆]^3- octa-hedron and three 2-iodo-ethyl-ammonium cations. The octa-hedra do not inter-act with each other, and the supra-molecular arrangement is ensured by an intricate network of N-H⋯I hydrogen bonds between cations and anions. In addition, a weak I⋯I inter-action between an organic cation and the coordination octa-hedron is present in the crystal structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯I (72.3%) and I⋯I (11.3%) inter-actions.
