Materials Data on CdH8C4(NCl)2 by Materials Project

CdC4H8(NCl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two CdC4H8(NCl)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Cd2+ is bonded to two equivalent N3- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms to form edge-sharing CdN2Cl4 octahedra. Both Cd–N bond lengths are 2.46 Å. There are two shorter (2.64 Å) and two longer (2.69 Å) Cd–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C+0.50- sites. In the first C+0.50- site, C+0.50- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N3- and two H1+ atoms. The C–N bond length is 1.43 Å. There is one shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. In the second C+0.50- site, C+0.50- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one N3- and two H1+ atoms. The C–N bond length is 1.44 Å. There is one shorter (1.10 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cd2+ and two C+0.50- atoms. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.50- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.50- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.50- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C+0.50- atom. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cd2+ atoms.
