Re Te Cl Cl
ReTeCl2 is alpha iridium vanadium-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. Re(1) is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of Re(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 2.84-3.05 Å. Te(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight equivalent Cl(1) atoms. There are a spread of Te(1)-Cl(1) bond distances ranging from 2.84-3.05 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Re(1) and four equivalent Te(1) atoms.
