Materials Data on Rb(WCl3)3 by Materials Project

Rb(WCl3)3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Rb–Cl bond lengths are 3.50 Å. W+2.67+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing WCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of W–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.50 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one W+2.67+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W+2.67+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent W+2.67+ atoms.
