Materials Data on TeS4(NCl)4 by Materials Project

(NS)4TeCl4 is alpha carbon monoxide-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four 1,3,5,7,2,4,6,8-tetrathiatetrazocane molecules and four TeCl4 clusters. In each TeCl4 cluster, Te4+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Te–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.48–2.54 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te4+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Te4+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te4+ atom.
