Materials Data on BN2Cl by Materials Project
BN2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. B3+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three N1- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of B–N bond distances ranging from 1.41–1.45 Å. Both B–Cl bond lengths are 2.80 Å. There are two inequivalent N1- sites. In the first N1- site, N1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B3+ atoms. In the second N1- site, N1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one B3+ and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both N–Cl bond lengths are 2.58 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent B3+, two equivalent N1-, and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both Cl–Cl bond lengths are 3.16 Å.
