Abstract
K5C4Br is Caswellsilverite-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are ten inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to five C1- and one Br1- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing KC5Br octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of K–C bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.19 Å. The K–Br bond length is 3.30 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to five C1- and one Br1- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing KC5Br octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–5°. There are a spread of K–C bond distances ranging from 3.01–3.18 Å. The K–Br bond length is 3.29 Å.
