Materials Data on CdH8C2NCl3 by Materials Project
CdCl3(CH3)2NH2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four dimethylazanium molecules and two CdCl3 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In each CdCl3 ribbon, Cd2+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form face-sharing CdCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cd–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.76 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
