Materials Data on Na3Cl2 by Materials Project
Na3Cl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Na3Cl2 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. there are two inequivalent Na sites. In the first Na site, Na is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Cl atoms. All Na–Cl bond lengths are 3.05 Å. In the second Na site, Na is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl atoms. All Na–Cl bond lengths are 3.00 Å. Cl is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight Na atoms.
