Abstract
The structure of the title compound, [NH2(CH3)(2)](2-)[SbCl5], was determin ed at 295 and 85 K. It consists of polymeric (SbCl52-)(n), chains composed of deformed SbCl63- octahedra connected by corners and dimethylammonium cat ions. The temperature dependence of the Sb-Cl bond lengths is discussed. It is argued that the deformation of the octahedral coordination of the Sb-II I atom is caused by electrostatic interaction/hydrogen bonds.
