Materials Data on Zn3Rh2(CN)12 by Materials Project
(Rh)2Zn(Zn(CN)6)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two rhodium molecules, two Zn(CN)6 clusters, and one zinc molecule. In each Zn(CN)6 cluster, Zn2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six N3- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–N bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.17 Å. There are three inequivalent C2+ sites. In the first C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. In the second C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. In the third C2+ site, C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. There are three inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C2+ atom. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C2+ atom. In the third N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Zn2+ and one C2+ atom.
