Materials Data on MoP2NCl12 by Materials Project
MoCl6P2NCl6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four hexachloromolybdenum molecules and four P2NCl6 clusters. In each P2NCl6 cluster, there are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to one N3- and three Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing PNCl3 tetrahedra. The P–N bond length is 1.57 Å. There is one shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) P–Cl bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to one N3- and three Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing PNCl3 tetrahedra. The P–N bond length is 1.57 Å. There is one shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) P–Cl bond length. N3- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P5+ atom.
