Materials Data on CuCl4 by Materials Project

CuCl4 is Silicon tetrafluoride-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmm2 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four CuCl4 clusters. Cu is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four Cl atoms. All Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.17 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom.
