The Materials Project

FeCl3 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two FeCl3 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Fe3+ is bonded to four Cl1- atoms to form corner-sharing FeCl4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.14–2.36 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Fe3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Fe3+ atom.
