Materials Data on CsI2Br by Materials Project

Abstract

CsI2Br crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six I and four equivalent Br atoms. There are a spread of Cs–I bond distances ranging from 4.06–4.27 Å. There are a spread of Cs–Br bond distances ranging from 3.74–3.91 Å. There are two inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I is bonded to four equivalent Cs and one I atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ICs4I trigonal bipyramids. The I–I bond length is 2.86 Å. In the second I site, I is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs, one I, and one Br atom. The I–Br bond length is 2.86 Å. Br is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs and one I atom.
