Materials Data on SeCl4 by Materials Project
SeCl4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four SeCl4 clusters. there are two inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing SeCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Se–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.80 Å. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing SeCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Se–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.84 Å. There are eight inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Se4+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the seventh Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se4+ atom. In the eighth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Se4+ atoms.
