Abstract

(NH4)NbOBr4 is obtained as air sensitive, light red crystals from NH4Br and NbBr 5 in a sealed glass ampoule at 420 °C, whereby the oxygen presumably originates from the glass surface. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/m with a = 1269.9(1), b = 1384.7(2). c = 773.0(2) pm, β = 114.44(2)° and Z = 6.

The structure is built up by NH4+ cations and polymeric NbOBr4 anions. Symmetrical linear oxo bridges with Nb-O = 199 pm connect square planar NbBr4 units to form endless chains arranged in planes parallel (010). Neighbouring NbBr4 units are in eclipsed as well as staggered orientations. The NH4+ cations are located between the planes of parallel NbOBr4 - chains. The vibrational frequencies of the IR and Raman spectrum are assigned.
