Be Be Cd Cl
Be2CdCl crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. There are two inequivalent Be sites. In the first Be site, Be(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of Be(1)-Cd(1) bond distances ranging from 3.05-3.08 Å. There are a spread of Be(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 2.34-2.37 Å. In the second Be site, Be(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cd(1) and four equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of Be(2)-Cd(1) bond distances ranging from 3.05-3.08 Å. There are a spread of Be(2)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 2.65-2.68 Å. Cd(1) is bonded to four equivalent Be(1), four equivalent Be(2), and four equivalent Cd(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and face-sharing CdBe8Cd4 cuboctahedra. All Cd(1)-Cd(1) bond lengths are 2.99 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Be(1) and four equivalent Be(2) atoms.
