Materials Data on CsCaCl3 by Materials Project
CsCaCl3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form distorted CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CsCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent CaCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.63–4.13 Å. Ca2+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form CaCl6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CaCl6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent CsCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–15°. There are four shorter (2.74 Å) and two longer (2.75 Å) Ca–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Ca2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Ca2+ atoms.
