Materials Data on KCrCl3 by Materials Project
KCrCl3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.21–3.84 Å. Cr2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing CrCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 14°. All Cr–Cl bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Cr2+ atoms.
