Crystal structure and luminescence of antimony(III) chloride complex with anilinium chloride

Crystal structure of (C6H5NH3)3[SbCl5]Cl·H2O is determined by X-ray analysis (a = 9.4155(13) Å, b = 11.4344(16) Å, c = 13.1584(18) Å, α = 113.483(2)°, β = 90.383(2)°, γ = 97.323(2)°, space group P\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \bar 1 $$\end{document}, Z = 2, ρcalc = 1.642 g/cm3). The crystal structure is based on [SbCl5]2− anions, anilinium cations (C6H5NH3)+, isolated Cl− anions, and water molecules. Structural features responsible for spectral and luminescent properties of the complex are discussed.
