Title: Bis(tetraphenylarsonium) hexachloridozirconate(IV) acetonitrile tetrasolvate

Abstract

The bis(tetraphenylarsonium) hexachloridozirconate(IV) salt, (AsPh 4 ) 2 [ZrCl 6 ] (Ph = C 6 H 5 ), was prepared more than 25 years ago [Esmadi & Sutcliffe (1991). Indian J. Chem. 30 A , 99–101], but its crystal structure was never reported. By following a similar experimental procedure, the compound was synthesized and its crystal structure was investigated as a acetonitrile tetrasolvate, (As(C 6 H 5 ) 4 ) 2 [ZrCl 6 ]·4CH 3 CN, by single-crystal X –ray diffraction. The [ZrCl 6 ] 2− anion adopts a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere, with Zr—Cl bond lengths of 2.4586 (6), 2.4723 (6), and 2.4818 (5) Å, and Cl—Zr—Cl angles ranging from 89.602 (19) to 90.397 (19)°.
