Materials Data on AlSnPH18(C3Cl2)2 by Materials Project

Sn(CH3)3P(CH3)3AlCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four trimethylphosphine molecules, four trimethyltin molecules, and four AlCl4 clusters. In each AlCl4 cluster, Al3+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are three shorter (2.16 Å) and one longer (2.18 Å) Al–Cl bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Al3+ atom.
