Materials Data on IrCl3 by Materials Project
IrCl3 is Aluminum trichloride structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one IrCl3 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ir3+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing IrCl6 octahedra. All Ir–Cl bond lengths are 2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir3+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Ir3+ atoms.
