Materials Data on SrZnCl4 by Materials Project
SrZnCl4 is Zircon-like structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are four shorter (3.00 Å) and four longer (3.11 Å) Sr–Cl bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Zn–Cl bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and one Zn2+ atom.
