Materials Data on CdSi3PH27C9Br2 by Materials Project
CdBr2(Si(CH3)3)3P crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four phosphine molecules, twelve trimethylsilyl radical molecules, and two CdBr2 clusters. In each CdBr2 cluster, Cd2+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Br1- atoms. There are a spread of Cd–Br bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.76 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cd2+ atom.
