Materials Data on Sn2PClO4 by Materials Project
Sn2PO4Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ama2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sn2+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.37 Å. There are one shorter (3.13 Å) and one longer (3.14 Å) Sn–Cl bond lengths. P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.54–1.58 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Sn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Sn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Sn2+ and one P5+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sn2+ atoms.
