Materials Data on RhSCl5 by Materials Project
RhCl3SCl2 is Magnesium tetraboride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve sulfur dichloride molecules and two RhCl3 clusters. In each RhCl3 cluster, there are six inequivalent Rh3+ sites. In the first Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.45 Å. In the second Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.45 Å. In the third Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.45 Å. In the fourth Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.45 Å. In the fifth Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.45 Å. In the sixth Rh3+ site, Rh3+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing RhCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Rh–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.45 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the seventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the eighth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the ninth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the tenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the eleventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the twelfth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the thirteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the fourteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the fifteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the sixteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms. In the seventeenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom. In the eighteenth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two Rh3+ atoms.
