Dimensional caging of polyiodides.
Two series of iodide and polyiodide chain structures have been synthesized through the employment of secondary interactions between polycation, long-chain, hydrocarbon cations. These compounds represent examples of crystal engineering, employing a simple strategy of synthesis. The two series are related, and the capacity to incorporate polyiodide ions dependent on the length of the hydrocarbon chains is indicated.
