Materials Data on SrZnCl2 by Materials Project
SrCl2Zn crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of one SrCl2 framework and eight zinc molecules. In the SrCl2 framework, Sr is bonded to six equivalent Cl atoms to form distorted edge-sharing SrCl6 octahedra. There are two shorter (2.96 Å) and four longer (2.97 Å) Sr–Cl bond lengths. Cl is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Sr atoms.
