Abstract

The solvothermal syntheses and crystal structures of three indium fluorides are presented. K5In3F14 (1) and beta-(NH4)(3)InF6 (2) are variants on known inorganic structure types chiolite and cryolite, respectively, with the latter exhibiting a complex and apparently novel structural distortion. [NH4](3)[C6H21N4](2) [In4F21] (3) represents a new hybrid composition displaying a unique trimeric metal fluoride building unit. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
