Materials Data on IrCl3 by Materials Project
IrCl3 is Aluminum trichloride-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir3+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing IrCl6 octahedra. All Ir–Cl bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir3+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ir3+ atoms.
