Materials Data on Zn2H18Cl4O9 by Materials Project
Zn(H2O)6ZnCl4(H2O)3 is alpha Pu-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve water molecules, four ZnCl4 clusters, and four zinc hexahydrate molecules. In each ZnCl4 cluster, Zn2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.31 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn2+ atom.
