Materials Data on SbCl3 by Materials Project
SbCl3 is Cementite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four antimony trichloride molecules. Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and two longer (2.41 Å) Sb–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom.
