Materials Data on Ca2Cd(BrO2)6 by Materials Project
(Ca(O2Br)3)2Cd crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four cadmium molecules and two Ca(O2Br)3 ribbons oriented in the (1, 1, 0) direction. In each Ca(O2Br)3 ribbon, Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CaO6 pentagonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.70 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca2+ and one Br3+ atom. The O–Br bond length is 1.74 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+ and one O2- atom. The O–O bond length is 1.25 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one Br3+ atom. The O–Br bond length is 1.81 Å. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ca2+ and one Br3+ atom. The O–Br bond length is 1.80 Å. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ca2+ and one Br3+ atom. The O–Br bond length is 1.71 Å. There are three inequivalent Br3+ sites. In the first Br3+ site, Br3+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. In the second Br3+ site, Br3+ is bonded in a water-like geometry to two O2- atoms. In the third Br3+ site, Br3+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom.
