Materials Data on SNClO by Materials Project

Abstract

NSOCl is beta Np structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four NSOCl clusters. there are two inequivalent N5+ sites. In the first N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two S2- atoms. Both N–S bond lengths are 1.58 Å. In the second N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent S2- atoms. Both N–S bond lengths are 1.59 Å. There are two inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded to two equivalent N5+, one O2-, and one Cl1- atom to form corner-sharing SN2ClO tetrahedra. The S–O bond length is 1.43 Å. The S–Cl bond length is 2.04 Å. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded to two N5+, one O2-, and one Cl1- atom to form corner-sharing SN2ClO tetrahedra. The S–O bond length is 1.43 Å. The S–Cl bond length is 2.04 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S2- atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S2- atom.
