Crystals of potassium dibromoiodide monohydrate, KIBr2. H20, are orthorhombic, space group Pnnm, with a= 12.183 (5), b= 13"046 (5), c=4"390 (3)/~, Z=4. All atoms lie on mirror planes. The structure was refined from diffractometer data by least-squares methods to R= 5.8 %. The structure consists of nearly linear chains of halogen atoms extending infinitely along b. The two independent IBr~-anions are linear and symmetrical, both with I-Br bond lengths of 2.71 A. The closest O...Br distance is 3.60/~, indicative of weak hydrogen bonding.
