Materials Data on ZnH8C4(N4Cl)2 by Materials Project
ZnC4H8(N4Cl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ZnC4H8(N4Cl)2 clusters. Zn2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two N3- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Zn–N bond lengths are 2.00 Å. There are one shorter (2.27 Å) and one longer (2.31 Å) Zn–Cl bond lengths. There are four inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.18 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–N bond length. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There are a spread of C–N bond distances ranging from 1.33–1.35 Å. In the third C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.33 Å) and two longer (1.35 Å) C–N bond length. In the fourth C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two N3- atoms. There is one shorter (1.18 Å) and one longer (1.29 Å) C–N bond length. There are eight inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.02 Å) N–H bond length. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two equivalent H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. In the fourth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C4+ atom. In the fifth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the sixth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one C4+ and two H1+ atoms. Both N–H bond lengths are 1.02 Å. In the seventh N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C4+ atom. In the eighth N3- site, N3- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two C4+ atoms. There are seven inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the seventh H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom.
