Title: Materials Data on HgBr2 by Materials Project

Abstract

HgBr2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two HgBr2 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Hg2+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing HgBr6 octahedra. There are a spread of Hg–Br bond distances ranging from 2.48–3.42 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg2+ atoms. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Hg2+ atoms.
