Materials Data on OsRh2(NCl)10 by Materials Project

Abstract

OsRh2(NCl)10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two OsRh2(NCl)10 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Os8+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Os–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.32 Å. Rh4+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five N+0.60- atoms. There are a spread of Rh–N bond distances ranging from 1.76–2.25 Å. There are three inequivalent N+0.60- sites. In the first N+0.60- site, N+0.60- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Rh4+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 2.57 Å. In the second N+0.60- site, N+0.60- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Rh4+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 1.55 Å. In the third N+0.60- site, N+0.60- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rh4+ and one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 1.64 Å. There are five inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent N+0.60- atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.60- atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Os8+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Os8+ atom. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Os8+ and two equivalent N+0.60- atoms.
