Abstract
We report the preparation and structural properties of complexes of metal halides and thiourea with composition MX[thiourea]4 (MX = KBr, KI, RbI, CsI), together with the mixed-halide materials KBrnI1–n[thiourea]4 (0 < n < 1) and the mixed-metal materials KnCs1–nI[thiourea]4 (0 < n < 1). These materials are isostructural, with a tetragonal structure (space group P4/mnc) characterized by M+[thiourea]4 coordination columns along the 4-fold axis and halide anions located in channels in the region of space between adjacent columns and running parallel to the columns. For the mixed-halide materials, the stoichiometry KBrnI1–n[thiourea]4 depends on the bromide/iodide ratio in the crystallization solution; the crystalline complexes have a higher bromide/iodide ratio than the crystallization solution, indicating preferential incorporation of bromide within the complex. Soaking crystals of KBr0.61I0.39[thiourea]4 in iodide containing solutions leads to halide exchange, with the iodide to bromide ratio increasing relative to the parent crystal. Further experiments produced no evidence that these thiourea complexes can accommodate extended polyiodide networks.
