Materials Data on Re(ClO)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Re(OCl)3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two Re(OCl)3 clusters. Re is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three O and three Cl atoms. There are a spread of Re–O bond distances ranging from 1.71–1.99 Å. There are a spread of Re–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.77 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 2.33 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Re and one O atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re atom. In the third Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re atom.
