Crystal structure of AlPCl8

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The crystal structure of aluminium phosphorus chloride (systematic name: phosphorus tetrachloride tetrachloridoaluminate), (PCl4)[AlCl4] or AlPCl8, was determined and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcm. The asymmetric unit comprises one Al atom, one P atom, and five Cl atoms.
