Materials Data on K3RhCl6 by Materials Project
K3RhCl6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.59 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.78 Å. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.50 Å. There are two inequivalent Rh3+ sites. In the first Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are four shorter (2.37 Å) and two longer (2.39 Å) Rh–Cl bond lengths. In the second Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. All Rh–Cl bond lengths are 2.38 Å. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one Rh3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five K1+ and one Rh3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one Rh3+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one Rh3+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one Rh3+ atom. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four K1+ and one Rh3+ atom.
