Materials Data on CoN3Cl5 by Materials Project
CoCl4N2NCl is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules, four chloramine molecules, and four CoCl4 clusters. In each CoCl4 cluster, Co2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Cl1- atoms. All Co–Cl bond lengths are 2.14 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co2+ atom.
