Ag5O6I crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted AgO6 pentagonal pyramids that share edges with three equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Ag(2)O6 pentagonal pyramids. O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one I(1) atom. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ag(2)O6 pentagonal pyramids.
Ag5O6I crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. There are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Ag(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.23 Å. In the second Ag site, Ag(2) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form distorted AgO6 pentagonal pyramids that share edges with three equivalent I(1)O6 octahedra and edges with three equivalent Ag(2)O6 pentagonal pyramids. There are three shorter (2.52 Å) and three longer (2.64 Å) Ag(2)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ag(1), two equivalent Ag(2), and one I(1) atom. The O(1)-I(1) bond length is 1.94 Å. I(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share edges with six equivalent Ag(2)O6 pentagonal pyramids.
