Materials Data on ZnH4(BrO)2 by Materials Project
(ZnBr3)2Zn(H2O)6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two ZnBr3 clusters and two zinc hexahydrate molecules. In each ZnBr3 cluster, Zn2+ is bonded to four Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing ZnBr4 tetrahedra. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.48 Å) Zn–Br bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ atoms.
