Title: Materials Data on CrHgH18N6Cl5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cr(NH3)6HgCl5 is Halite, Rock Salt structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of thirty-two Cr(NH3)6 clusters and thirty-two HgCl5 clusters. In each Cr(NH3)6 cluster, Cr3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent N3- atoms. All Cr–N bond lengths are 2.10 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cr3+ and three H1+ atoms. All N–H bond lengths are 1.03 Å. There are three inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In each HgCl5 cluster, Hg2+ is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to five Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.52 Å) and three longer (2.76 Å) Hg–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hg2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Hg2+ atom.
