Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {(C₁₂H₉N₂)[SbCl₄]·CH₃OH}_n, comprises a 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation, a tetrachloridoantimonate anion and a methanol solvent molecule. Centrosymmetrically-related anions are linked by short SbCl intermolecular contacts into [Sb₂Cl₈]^2- dimeric units to form one-dimensional polymeric chains running parallel to the a axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-HCl and N-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.
