Materials Data on CdH8C2Br3N by Materials Project
CdBr3(CH3)2NH2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four dimethylazanium molecules and two CdBr3 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In each CdBr3 ribbon, Cd2+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form face-sharing CdBr6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Br bond distances ranging from 2.79–2.94 Å. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
