In order to explain the observed 35Cl-NQR anomaly of the title compound, a neutron diffraction study on single crystals was carried out at 295 K and 158 K. No significant structural changes concerning phase transitions or molecular disorder between the two experiments were observed. The space group is P21/c = C2h5 with 8 molecules per unit cell. The asymmetric unit contains 2 molecules. The cell parameters were determined to a = 1264(4) pm, b = 825(2) pm, c = 1503(3) pm, ß = 14.3(3)° at 295 K and a = 1243(2)pm, b = 815(1) pm, c = 1494(2) pm, ß = 114.3(1)° at 158 K. The molecules show rigid-body behaviour. No significant changes of the molecular geometry were observed. A strong variation of the temperature factors as function of the temperature was detected. An anharmonicity of the librational potential of the molecules was found by evaluation of the thermal parameters as function of temperature. For verifying the existence of dynamic processes which lead to a bleaching out of the 35Cl-NQR lines difference, Fourier syntheses were calculated. A reorientation or an order-disorder process as suggested by 35Cl-NQR spectroscopy above 230 K could not be confirmed within the error of the experiments. The degree of deuteration of the samples was determined by refinement of the occupation factors of the deuterium sites.

A neutron diffraction study of the structural phase transitions in Rb2PtI6, (NH4)2PtBr6, and (NH4)2PtI6 is presented. Cubic antifluorites studied to date exhibit transitions involving ferro- or antiferro-rotations of the halide octahedra with little or no tetragonal distortions. In this study we show that tetragonal distortions also occur in the antifluorites with or without accompanying rotations. Profile analysis reveals that below 65 K the Rb2PtI6 structure and below 50 K the (NH4)2PtBr6 structure become tetragonal with no evidence for rotation of the octahedra. Further, the 258 K transition in (NH4)2PtI6 is antiferro-rotative, with octahedra in successive (001) planes rotated in opposite senses, accompanied by a tetragonal distortion; the transition at 100 K involves a further ferro-rotation.
