Materials Data on InH9(NCl)3 by Materials Project
InH12(N2Cl)2InH6(NCl2)2 is Protactinium-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one InH12(N2Cl)2 cluster and one InH6(NCl2)2 cluster. In the InH12(N2Cl)2 cluster, In3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four N3- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.27 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) In–N bond lengths. Both In–Cl bond lengths are 2.57 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one In3+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and two longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one In3+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and two longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In3+ atom. In the InH6(NCl2)2 cluster, In3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent N3- and four Cl1- atoms. Both In–N bond lengths are 2.24 Å. There are two shorter (2.58 Å) and two longer (2.60 Å) In–Cl bond lengths. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one In3+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and two longer (1.03 Å) N–H bond length. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one In3+ atom.
