Materials Data on Sb3H36(C3I2)4 by Materials Project
((CH3)4Sb)3(I)8 crystallizes in the cubic I-43d space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of thirty-two hydriodic acid molecules and twelve (CH3)4Sb clusters. In each (CH3)4Sb cluster, C+2.67- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Sb+1.33+ and three H1+ atoms. The C–Sb bond length is 2.14 Å. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and two longer (1.10 Å) C–H bond length. Sb+1.33+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent C+2.67- atoms. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.67- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+2.67- atom.
