Materials Data on Re2PCl13 by Materials Project
Re2Cl9PCl4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two [pcl4]+1 molecules and two Re2Cl9 clusters. In each Re2Cl9 cluster, there are two inequivalent Re4+ sites. In the first Re4+ site, Re4+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form face-sharing ReCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Re–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.44 Å. In the second Re4+ site, Re4+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form face-sharing ReCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Re–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.44 Å. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Re4+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Re4+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re4+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re4+ atom. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re4+ atom.
