Description

The chemical transport of lanthanoid halides via the gas phase is possible, for example, with AlCl3. Spectroscopic investigations have revealed the formation of the 'gas complexes' LnAl3Cl12 and LnAl4Cl15. The holmium-containing title compound has now been characterized by X-ray structure analysis. HoAl3Cl12 contains square HoCl8 antiprisms edge-linked with AlCl4 tetrahedra, resulting in the overall formation of screw-shaped chains. (orig.)
