Materials Data on Ru(N3Cl)2 by Materials Project
Ru(N3Cl)2 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ru4+ is bonded to six equivalent N+0.33- atoms to form RuN6 octahedra that share faces with eight equivalent ClN12 cuboctahedra. All Ru–N bond lengths are 1.95 Å. N+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ru4+ and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All N–Cl bond lengths are 2.85 Å. Cl1- is bonded to twelve equivalent N+0.33- atoms to form ClN12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent ClN12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent ClN12 cuboctahedra, and faces with four equivalent RuN6 octahedra.
