The new compounds [Cr(NH ](I )(I ) and [(NH M(OH) M(NH ](I I with M = Cr, Co have been prepared by the reaction of [M(NH ]X (M = Cr, Co; X = Cl, I, NO ), KI, and I in water under controlled stoichiometric and pH conditions. The first compound is isotypic with the cobalt compound of the same composition. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group I /m with a = 984.7(3), b = 786.6(1), c = 1330.1(3) pm, β = 95.34(2)° and Z = 2 and contains nearly octahedral cations [Cr(NH , a linear triiodide ion I and a tetraiodide ion I . The two other compounds are isotypic. They crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 2629.6( 14) / 2633.5(2), b = 798.3(11) / 797.3(1), c = 1127.6(7) / 1125.7( 1) pm and Z = 4 for Co / Cr respectively. The heptaiodide(3-) ion is broken into two triiodide ions and one iodide ion
