The CsCl/LiCl system has been studied for over a century now. Numerous phases have been predicted - only three have hitherto been found. We present the synthesis and single-crystal structure of the cesium lithium pentachloride Cs<sub>3</sub>Li<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>5</sub>, predicted earlier but with a different structure. The anhydrous new phase readily reacts to Cs<sub>3</sub>LiCl<sub>4</sub> · 4H<sub>2</sub>O in air. The tetrahydrate can also be obtained through the simplest, most inexpensive and ...[more]
