Crystal structure of AlPCl<sub>8</sub>
The crystal structure of aluminium phospho-rus chloride (systematic name: phospho-rus tetra-chloride tetra-chloridoa-luminate), (PCl<sub>4</sub>)[AlCl<sub>4</sub>] or AlPCl<sub>8</sub>, was determined and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The compound crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group <i>Pbcm</i>. The asymmetric unit comprises one Al atom, one P atom, and five Cl atoms. The structure is characterized by isolated AlCl<sub>4</sub> and PCl<sub>4</sub> tetra-hedra, isostructural with FePCl<sub>8</sub> and GaPCl<sub>8</sub>.
