Abstract

W5Br12SbBr3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four antimony tribromide molecules and two W5Br12 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each W5Br12 ribbon, there are ten inequivalent W+3.60+ sites. In the first W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.65 Å. In the second W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.66 Å. In the third W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.71 Å. In the fourth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.66 Å. In the fifth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.73 Å. In the sixth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.66 Å. In the seventh W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.67 Å. In the eighth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.66 Å. In the ninth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.57–2.70 Å. In the tenth W+3.60+ site, W+3.60+ is bonded to five Br1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing WBr5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Br bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.72 Å. There are twenty-four inequivalent Br1- sites.
