Abstract
The structure of [NH2(CH3)(2)](2)[BiCl5] is characterized by hexacoord inate Bi, forming a [BiCl5](4-)(2) dimer [i.e. di-mu-chloro-bis(tetrac hlorobismuth)] with the geometry of two slightly distorted octahedra s haring one edge. The two bridging Cl atoms are connected to the Bi ato m by long bonds [2.906 (3) and 2.922 (3) Angstrom]. The other Bi-Cl di stances are shorter [2.566 (3)-2.741 (3) Angstrom] and are characteris tic of 'free' Cl atoms. The dimethylammonium groups are connected via hydrogen bonds to the Cl atoms, The NH ... Cl bonds vary in length fro m 3.22 (1) to 3.280 (9) Angstrom.
