Abstract

The title compound, [Sr(C(14)H(20)O(5))(2)](I(3))(2), obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol/dichloro-methane solution (1:1) of SrCl(2), benzo-15-crown-5 and I(2), is built of sandwich-like [Sr(benzo-15-crown-5)(2)](2+) cations and isolated linear I(3) (-) anions which are arranged in alternating layers parallel to (010). The triiodide anions are located in general positions, whereas the cations are located on centres of inversion.
