Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The title organic–inorganic hybrid salts poly[trimethylsulfonium [[dichloridoantimony(III)]‐di‐μ‐chlorido]], {(C₃H₉S)[SbCl₄]}_{<italic>n</italic>}, (I), and <italic>catena</italic>‐poly[trimethylsulfonium [cadmium(II)‐tri‐μ‐chlorido]], {(C₃H₉S)[CdCl₃]}_{<italic>n</italic>}, (II), consist of trimethylsulfonium cations and polymeric {[SbCl₄]⁻}_{<italic>n</italic>} or {[CdCl₃]⁻}_{<italic>n</italic>} anions. The central metal atoms are coordinated by six Cl atoms, forming an anionic {[SbCl₄]⁻}_{<italic>n</italic>} three‐dimensional framework (two of the four bridging chloride anions are located on two different centres of inversion) or anionic {[CdCl₃]⁻}_{<italic>n</italic>} one‐dimensional chains. The trimethylsulfonium cation of (II) is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.791 (4):0.209 (4) ratio. All the anions are linked by trimethylsulfonium cations through weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds to form three‐dimensional structures.</p> </abstract>
