Source of materialThe title compound is prepared as following : to an ice cooled solution of 127 g (0.5 mol) of iodine in excess of dimethylacetamide (348 g, 4 mol), 150 mL of a 1M 0(2) -ions is located at inversion centre, the geometry of these three atomic systems is linear. The I-Br bond lengths situated in the range of 2.709(1) Å to 2.819(1) Å are significantly longer than those found in the bis(1,4,7-trithiacyclononane)palladium(II) bis(dibromoiodide) complex [2.683(1) Å -2.698(1) Å] in [9]. The crystal packing is characterized by the presence of layers perpendicular Z. Kristallogr. NCS 218 (2003) 123-124 123
