Materials Data on BeCl2 by Materials Project
BeCl2 is Silicon Disuphide structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibam space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two BeCl2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Be2+ is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing BeCl4 tetrahedra. All Be–Cl bond lengths are 2.04 Å. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Be2+ atoms.
