Abstract
Colorless single crystals of Li3InCl6 are obtained from a 3:1 molar mixture of LiCl and InCl3 via Bridgman-type crystal growth. The crystal structure (monoclinic, C2/m, Z = 2, a = 643.2(3), b = 1109.3(3), c = 639.8(3)pm, beta = 109.8(1)degrees R-1 = 0.0549, wR(2) = 0.1364 (all data) may be derived f rom the AlCl3-type of structure as was previously also found for the bromid es Li3MBr6 (M = Sm-Lu, Y) and iodides Li3MI6 (M = Er-Yb, Y).
