Zr3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. Cl(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ClZr12 cuboctahedra.
Zr3Cl crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Zr(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are two shorter (3.05 Å) and two longer (3.25 Å) Zr(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. Cl(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent Zr(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing ClZr12 cuboctahedra.
