Abstract:
A unique, highly charged cationic bismuth fluoro cluster [Bi6F11]7+, embedded in the complex crystal structure of (Se4)2+[Bi6F11]7+[AsF6-]9.10 SO2, was synthesized from Bi2Se3 and AsF5 in liquid SO2.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
