Materials Data on Sr(AlCl4)2 by Materials Project
Sr(AlCl4)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/acd space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two Sr(AlCl4)2 frameworks. Sr2+ is bonded to eight Cl1- atoms to form distorted SrCl8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with four equivalent AlCl4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (3.08 Å) and four longer (3.13 Å) Sr–Cl bond lengths. Al3+ is bonded to four Cl1- atoms to form AlCl4 tetrahedra that share edges with two equivalent SrCl8 hexagonal bipyramids. All Al–Cl bond lengths are 2.16 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Sr2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one Sr2+ and one Al3+ atom.
