Materials Data on WCl6 by Materials Project
WCl6 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of three tungsten(vi) chloride molecules. W6+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. All W–Cl bond lengths are 2.31 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W6+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W6+ atom.
