Materials Data on Fe(NCl)2 by Materials Project
Fe(NCl)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Fe(NCl)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Fe2+ is bonded to two equivalent N and four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing FeN2Cl4 octahedra. Both Fe–N bond lengths are 1.68 Å. All Fe–Cl bond lengths are 2.32 Å. N is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Fe2+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Fe2+ atoms.
