Materials Data on Ag(BCl)6 by Materials Project
Ag(BCl)6 is alpha-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight Ag(BCl)6 clusters. Ag is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Cl atoms. There are three shorter (2.87 Å) and three longer (2.88 Å) Ag–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B sites. In the first B site, B is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The B–Cl bond length is 1.79 Å. In the second B site, B is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The B–Cl bond length is 1.80 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ag and one B atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ag and one B atom.
