Materials Data on PrSClO4 by Materials Project
PrSO4Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pr3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to six O2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Pr–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–3.01 Å. There are a spread of Pr–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.92–2.94 Å. S6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.46–1.52 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pr3+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Pr3+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Pr3+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Pr3+ and one S6+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Pr3+ atoms.
