Figure 10
The top view of (5) is a projection along the a axis illustrating the zigzag chains of iodine rings formed by linked I units running along the b axis and the S⋯I linkages which attach the cations to the polyiodide network, which assemble the chains into sheets. The middle view along the b axis shows the S⋯I interactions between the polyiodide sheets and the complex cation leading to a three-dimensional network, and C—H⋯N interactions between the complex cation and the solvent molecule. The bottom view along the c axis is an alternative illustration of the I⋯I and S⋯I interactions and the corrugation of the polyiodide layers. |
