Materials Data on GaCuCl4 by Materials Project
CuGaCl4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu1+ is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form CuCl4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaCl4 tetrahedra. All Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.34 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form GaCl4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuCl4 tetrahedra. All Ga–Cl bond lengths are 2.22 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Cu1+ and one Ga3+ atom.
