Materials Data on CSCl2 by Materials Project
CSCl2 is Hg_xSn-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two 2,2,4,4-tetrachloro-1,3-dithietane molecules. C4+ is bonded to two equivalent S2- and two Cl1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing CS2Cl2 tetrahedra. Both C–S bond lengths are 1.82 Å. Both C–Cl bond lengths are 1.79 Å. S2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent C4+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
