Zur Kristallstruktur von Li3InCl6

Ternary Halides of the A3MX6 Type. VIII On the Crystal Structure of Li3InCl6 Colorless single crystals of Li3InCl6 are obtained from a 3 : 1 molar mixture of LiCl and InCl3 via Bridgman-type crystal growth. The crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 2, a = 643.2(3), b = 1109.3(3), c = 639.8(3) pm, β = 109.8(1)° R1 = 0.0549, wR2 = 0.1364 (all data) may be derived from the AlCl3-type of structure as was previously also found for the bromides Li3MBr6 (M = Sm–Lu, Y) and iodides Li3MI6 (M = Er–Yb, Y).
