Materials Data on IrRu2(NCl)10 by Materials Project
IrCl6(RuN3Cl2)2(N2)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four nitrogen molecules, two IrCl6 clusters, and four RuN3Cl2 clusters. In each IrCl6 cluster, Ir5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are four shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.33 Å) Ir–Cl bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ir5+ atom. In each RuN3Cl2 cluster, Ru+5.50+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to three N+0.60- and one Cl1- atom. There is two shorter (1.70 Å) and one longer (1.90 Å) Ru–N bond length. The Ru–Cl bond length is 2.26 Å. There are two inequivalent N+0.60- sites. In the first N+0.60- site, N+0.60- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru+5.50+ atom. In the second N+0.60- site, N+0.60- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ru+5.50+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 1.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru+5.50+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.60- atom.
