Materials Data on IrCl2 by Materials Project
IrCl2 is Rutile structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ir is bonded to six equivalent Cl atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing IrCl6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 50°. There are two shorter (2.43 Å) and four longer (2.45 Å) Ir–Cl bond lengths. Cl is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Ir atoms.
