Crystal Structure of A Molecular Complex Compound of Antimony(III) Fluoride with L-Leucine

Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis is used to determine the crystal structure of a newly synthesized molecular complex compound of antimony(III) fluoride with L-leucine of the composition SbF(3)(C6H(13)NO(2)) (orthohombic crystal system: a = 5.7948(8) , b = 6.2433(9) , c = 28.594(4) , Z = 4, P2(1)2(1)2(1) space group). The structure consists of SbF(3) molecules and L-leucine bound into polymer chains by bidentate bridging carboxyl groups of amino acid molecules. Weak SbaEuro broken vertical bar F(1)(b) bonds combine the adjacent chains into polymer ribbons organized by N-HaEuro broken vertical bar. F and N-HaEuro broken vertical bar. O hydrogen bonds into a framework.
