Abstract We report on synthesis, structural and vibrational spectroscopic characterization of the (SarH)6[F5Al-F-AlF5]F (I) salt. The compound (I) is the first salt of amino acids with a dimeric undecafluoridodialuminate [F5Al-F-AlF5]5− anion and the first mixed salt of sarcosine with different anions. It crystallizes in orthorhombic system, space group Pbca. The simulated FT-IR spectrum for a cluster which comprises 13 cations, [F5Al-F-AlF5]5− anion and a fluoride anions built from the crystal structure is compared with the experimental spectrum and agree reasonably well.
