Materials Data on CsSnCl3 by Materials Project
CsSnCl3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.52–4.00 Å. Sn2+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.61 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and one Sn2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+ and one Sn2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+ and one Sn2+ atom.
