Materials Data on CsHgCl3 by Materials Project
Abstract
CsHgCl3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight HgCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.88–4.00 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight HgCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.79–4.04 Å. In the third Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form CsCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsCl12 cuboctahedra, faces with six CsCl12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight HgCl6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.86–4.00 Å. There are three inequivalent Hg2+ sites. In the first Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form HgCl6 octahedra that share corners with six HgCl6 octahedra and faces with eight CsCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–4°. Theremore »
