(CH 3 NH 3 ) 4 YbCl 7 has been synthesized from a solution of CH 3 NH 3 Cl and YbCl 3 in a mixture of ethnole/acetonitrile. The structure was solved from 1464 single crystal data by Patterson methods and refined to a final R w = 0.035 space group P2, a = 9.972(6) Å, b = 7.605(5) Å, c = 12.866(6) Å, β = 90.53(4)°. The structure consists of alternating [YbCl 6 ] 3− octahedra and of tetrahedrally arranged [(CH 3 NH 3 ) 4 Cl] 3+ units. Raman spectra display a splitting of frequencies related to the CH 3 NH 3 + group in agreement with the structure determination. The magnetic susceptibility shows a remarkable deviation from a Curie‐Weiss law below 170 K which may be explained by crystal field effects of Yb 3+ .
