Materials Data on TlCl3 by Materials Project
TlCl3 is alpha U structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four thallium(iii) chloride molecules. Tl3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) Tl–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Tl3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Tl3+ atom.
