- Abstract
A new compound KLi[Sb2(C4H2O6)2] · 4H2O, 1, was synthesized in single crystal form by slowly evaporating an aqueous solution of potassium antimony tartrate and lithium nitrate. The structure of 1 consists of homochiral layers of antimony tartrate dimers linked by LiO4 tetrahedra. The interlayer water molecules can be reversibly driven out by heating or exchanged by small alcohol molecules under ambient conditions, occurring via single-crystal to single-crystal transformations. To accommodate different interlayer molecules, the interlayer space is changed by adjusting the relative lateral shift of neighboring layers. A similar adjustment in the layer stacking also occurs in a structural phase transition caused by order-disorder transformation of the arrangement of interlayer methanol molecules at low temperature.
