Materials Data on Rb2(NbCl3)3 by Materials Project
Rb2(NbCl3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.70 Å. There are two inequivalent Nb+2.33+ sites. In the first Nb+2.33+ site, Nb+2.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing NbCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Nb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.60 Å. In the second Nb+2.33+ site, Nb+2.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing NbCl5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Nb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.65 Å. There are six inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded to three equivalent Rb1+ and one Nb+2.33+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClRb3Nb tetrahedra. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and one Nb+2.33+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nb+2.33+ atoms. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+ and two Nb+2.33+ atoms. In the fifth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb1+ and two equivalent Nb+2.33+ atoms. In the sixth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Nb+2.33+ atoms.
