The ammoniate [K 17 (Sb 8 ) 2 (NH 2 )] · 17.5NH 3 was synthesized by reduction of antimony with potassium in liquid ammonia. Single crystals were isolated and characterized by low temperature X‐ray structure analysis. [K 17 (Sb 8 ) 2 (NH 2 )] · 17.5NH 3 crystallizes in the space group P 2 1 / c (No. 14) with a = 12.976(1) Å, b = 24.536(1) Å, c = 22.858(1) Å and β = 99.17(1)°. The ammoniate contains crown‐shaped [Sb 8 ] 8− Zintl anions which are analogous to S 8 rings. The presence of amide NH 2 − as an additional anion is deduced from coordination observations and the close similarity of structural features to the structure of KNH 2 .
