Materials Data on GdBr3 by Materials Project
GdBr3 is Aluminum trichloride structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one GdBr3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Gd3+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form edge-sharing GdBr6 octahedra. All Gd–Br bond lengths are 2.85 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Gd3+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Gd3+ atoms.
