Materials Data on Tl5Re6S8Cl7 by Materials Project
Re6Tl5S8Cl7 crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Re3+ sites. In the first Re3+ site, Re3+ is bonded to four S2- and one Cl1- atom to form edge-sharing ReS4Cl square pyramids. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) Re–S bond lengths. The Re–Cl bond length is 2.46 Å. In the second Re3+ site, Re3+ is bonded to four S2- and one Cl1- atom to form edge-sharing ReS4Cl square pyramids. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) Re–S bond lengths. The Re–Cl bond length is 2.46 Å. There are three inequivalent Tl1+ sites. In the first Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four S2- and five Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Tl–S bond distances ranging from 3.40–3.65 Å. There are a spread of Tl–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.96–3.67 Å. In the second Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Tl–S bond lengths are 3.43 Å. All Tl–Cl bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In the third Tl1+ site, Tl1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Tl–S bond lengths are 3.39 Å. All Tl–Cl bond lengths are 3.22 Å. There are four inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re3+ and three equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re3+ and three equivalent Tl1+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Re3+ and two Tl1+ atoms. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Re3+ and two Tl1+ atoms.
