Materials Data on ZrFeCl6 by Materials Project
ZrFeCl6 is Aluminum trichloride-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two ZrFeCl6 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Zr4+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form ZrCl6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent FeCl6 octahedra. All Zr–Cl bond lengths are 2.50 Å. Fe2+ is bonded to six equivalent Cl1- atoms to form FeCl6 octahedra that share edges with three equivalent ZrCl6 octahedra. All Fe–Cl bond lengths are 2.48 Å. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Zr4+ and one Fe2+ atom.
