Erstmalige Charakterisierung der Ammoniak-Proton-Komplexe [(NH3)3H]+ und [(NH3)4H]+ in den Kristallstrukturen von (NH4)3AsS4 · 5 NH3 und (NH4)3SbS4 · 8 NH3 / First Characterization of the Ammonia-Proton-Complexes [(NH3)3H]+ and [(NH3)4H]+ in the Crystal S

The compounds (NH4)3AsS4· 5 NH3 (1) and (NH4)3SbS4· 8 NH3 (2) were prepared by the reaction of Na3AsS4 and Na3SbS4 with a proton-charged ion exchange material in liquid ammonia and characterized by low temperature single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The ammonium-ammoniates show H3N-H···N-hydrogen bonds between the ammonium ion and ammonia molecules ranging from 1.86 to 2.55 Å (DHA-angles: 145 - 173°) and H3N-H···S-bonds to the thioanions between 2.36 and 2.97 Å (DHA-angles: 130 - 176°). The former of the interactions are responsible for the formation of [(NH3)2H]+, [(NH3)3H]+ and [(NH3)4H]+-complexes, the last two of which were characterized by X-ray analysis for the first time.
