Materials Data on Re3(SCl)7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Re3(SCl)7 crystallizes in the trigonal P31c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Re3(SCl)7 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent Re7+ sites. In the first Re7+ site, Re7+ is bonded to five S2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted face-sharing ReS5Cl2 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Re–S bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.47 Å. Both Re–Cl bond lengths are 2.39 Å. In the second Re7+ site, Re7+ is bonded to five S2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted face-sharing ReS5Cl2 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Re–S bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.46 Å. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Re–Cl bond lengths. There are six inequivalent S2- sites. In the first S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Re7+ and one S2- atom. The S–S bond length is 2.07 Å. In the second S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Re7+ atoms. In the third S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Re7+ and one Cl1- atom. The S–Cl bond length is 2.71 Å. In the fourth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Re7+, one S2-, and four Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of S–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.60 Å. In the fifth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re7+ atoms. In the sixth S2- site, S2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Re7+ atoms. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ and two equivalent S2- atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re7+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re7+ and one S2- atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent S2- atoms.
