Antimony <i>vs.</i> bismuth: structural differences in Cat{[MCl<sub>5</sub>](I<sub>2</sub>)} halogen bond-linked supramolecular complexes
Four new hybrid chloroantimonates(III) and chlorobismuthates(III) with halogen bond-linked I<sub>2</sub>, (H<sub>2</sub>bpe){[MCl<sub>5</sub>](I<sub>2</sub>)} (M = Sb(III) (1); M = Bi(III) (2); bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridil)ethane) and (H<sub>2</sub>bpp){[MCl<sub>5</sub>](I<sub>2</sub>)} (M = Sb(III) (3); M = Bi(III) (4); bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridil)propane), were synthesized <i>via</i> a reaction between Sb<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/Bi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, I<sub>2</sub> and the corresponding bis(pyridines) in HCl. Despite sharing the same formulae of supramolecular anionic parts, they showed significant structural diversity, revealing three different structural types. Features of the halogen bond in 1-4 were examined <i>via</i> theoretical methods.
