Materials Data on Th(InBr3)2 by Materials Project
Th(InBr3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Th(InBr3)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Th4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Th–Br bond distances ranging from 2.90–3.15 Å. In1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Br1- atoms. There are a spread of In–Br bond distances ranging from 3.39–3.50 Å. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Th4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Th4+ and one In1+ atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Th4+ and two equivalent In1+ atoms.
