Cesium hydroxide-ammoniate (1:1), CsOH center dot NH3, was obtained as a side product in the reaction of cesium hydride, CsH and telluric acid, Te(OH)(6) in liquid ammonia at -38 A degrees C. The compound crystallizes as colorless crystals in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with Z = 8, a = 4.391(9) , b = 18.593(4) , c = 8.141 (16) , beta = 90.37(3)A degrees, and V = 664.6(24) (3). The crystal structure was solved from single crystal X-ray data. The structure contains a three-dimensional network built up by contacts between cesium cations and hydroxide anions and ammonia molecules, which in turn are connected by O-H center dot center dot center dot N and N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
