Materials Data on Te6RuBr8 by Materials Project
RuTeTe5Br8 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ruthenium molecules, four tellurium molecules, and four Te5Br8 clusters. In each Te5Br8 cluster, there are five inequivalent Te1+ sites. In the first Te1+ site, Te1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br1- atom. The Te–Br bond length is 3.16 Å. In the second Te1+ site, Te1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br1- atom. The Te–Br bond length is 3.04 Å. In the third Te1+ site, Te1+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Br bond distances ranging from 2.59–3.05 Å. In the fourth Te1+ site, Te1+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Br bond distances ranging from 2.56–3.34 Å. In the fifth Te1+ site, Te1+ is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to three Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Br bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.78 Å. There are eight inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te1+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Te1+ atoms. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te1+ atom. In the fourth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two Te1+ atoms. In the fifth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Te1+ atoms. In the sixth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te1+ atom. In the seventh Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Te1+ atoms. In the eighth Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Te1+ atoms.
