Materials Data on YCBr by Materials Project
YCBr crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent C2- and four equivalent Br1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.54 Å) Y–C bond lengths. There are a spread of Y–Br bond distances ranging from 3.08–3.20 Å. C2- is bonded to four equivalent Y3+ and one Br1- atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CY4Br trigonal bipyramids. The C–Br bond length is 2.29 Å. Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Y3+ and one C2- atom.
