Crystal structures of hexamminecobalt hexachloroantimonate (III) and hexamminecobalt nonafluoroantimonate (III)

Hexamminecobalt hexachloroantimonate (III), Co (NH3)6SbCl6, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (D$1.5\atop{2h}$ with unit cell parameters a = 11.50(3) Å, b = 11.53(3) Å and c = 11.51(2) Å. The observed and calculated densities were both found to be 2.19 g cm-3 wtih Z =4. Data were collected on an automated four-circle diffractometer equipped with scintillation counter using the θ-2θ step scan technique and Mo Kα radiation (λ = 0.71069 Å).
