Materials Data on ReCSN2Cl3O2 by Materials Project

Abstract

ReO2Cl3CN2S is Modderite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pca2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four thiocyanamide molecules and four ReO2Cl3 clusters. In each ReO2Cl3 cluster, Re3+ is bonded in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to two O2- and three Cl1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.72 Å) and one longer (1.73 Å) Re–O bond length. There are a spread of Re–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.33 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re3+ atom. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Re3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Re3+ atom.
