Materials Data on PICl6 by Materials Project
PCl4ICl2 is beta-prime cadmium gold structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P-42_1m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two [pcl4]+1 molecules and two ICl2 clusters. In each ICl2 cluster, I is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Cl atoms. Both I–Cl bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I atom.
