Abstract: The crystal structure of the title iodoantimonate complex, 4,4'-bipyridinium(2+) di--iodo-bis[(4,4'-bipyridyl)triiodoantimony(III)], formulated as [4,4'-H₂bipy]²⁺[Sb₂I₈(4,4'-bipy)₂]^2- or (C₁₀H₁₀N₂)[Sb₂I₈(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], contains layers of hydrogen-bonded ribbon polymers in which anionic dimetal complexes are linked through hydrogen bonding with 4,4'-H₂bipy cations. The complex is isostructural with its bismuth analogue.
