Materials Data on VH24C4N4Cl7 by Materials Project
(VCl6)2(CH3NH3)8Cl2 is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four hydrochloric acid molecules, sixteen methylammonium molecules, and four VCl6 clusters. In each VCl6 cluster, V3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of V–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.43 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V3+ atom.
