Materials Data on Co3SnC12ClO12 by Materials Project
(Co(CO)4)3SnCl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four tin chloride (sncl) molecules and twelve Co(CO)4 clusters. In four of the Co(CO)4 clusters, Co+1.67+ is bonded in a trigonal pyramidal geometry to four C+1.33+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.77 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Co–C bond length. There are four inequivalent C+1.33+ sites. In the first C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the third C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. In the fourth C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+1.33+ atom. In eight of the Co(CO)4 clusters, Co+1.67+ is bonded in a trigonal pyramidal geometry to four C+1.33+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.77 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Co–C bond length. There are four inequivalent C+1.33+ sites. In the first C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the second C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å. In the third C+1.33+ site, C+1.33+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Co+1.67+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.16 Å.
