Materials Data on SrBr2 by Materials Project
SrBr2 is Baddeleyite-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to seven Br1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing SrBr7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Sr–Br bond distances ranging from 3.09–3.23 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded to four equivalent Sr2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BrSr4 trigonal pyramids. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Sr2+ atoms.
