Abstract:
The title compound, (C(7)H(10)N)(3)[SbCl(5)]Cl·H(2)O, consists of 4-methyl-anilinium cations, Cl(-) and [SbCl(5)](2-) anions and water mol-ecules. The five Cl atoms bound to Sb [Sb-Cl = 2.4043 (9)-2.6262 (11) Å] form a square-pyramidal coordination environment. In addition, two [SbCl(5)](2-) anions related by an inversion center are joined by Sb⋯Cl inter-actions [Sb⋯Cl = 3.7273 (14) Å] into an [Sb(2)Cl(10)](4-) dimer with two bridging Cl atoms. The anions, water mol-ecules and ammonium groups of the cations are linked by N-H⋯Cl, N-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. The benzene rings of the 4-methyl-anilinium cations are packed between these layers.

Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...

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...
