Materials Data on Cs2La10Ru2I17 by Materials Project

Cs2La10Ru2I17 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve I atoms. There are a spread of Cs–I bond distances ranging from 4.24–4.60 Å. There are four inequivalent La sites. In the first La site, La is bonded to one Ru and five I atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LaRuI5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–8°. The La–Ru bond length is 2.88 Å. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.23–3.48 Å. In the second La site, La is bonded to one Ru and five I atoms to form distorted LaRuI5 octahedra that share corners with five LaRu2I4 octahedra and edges with five LaRuI5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–9°. The La–Ru bond length is 2.83 Å. There are four shorter (3.28 Å) and one longer (3.49 Å) La–I bond lengths. In the third La site, La is bonded to two equivalent Ru and four I atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LaRu2I4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are one shorter (2.87 Å) and one longer (3.01 Å) La–Ru bond lengths. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.38–3.55 Å. In the fourth La site, La is bonded to one Ru and five I atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing LaRuI5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–9°. The La–Ru bond length is 2.73 Å. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.25–3.52 Å. Ru is bonded to six La atoms to form edge-sharing RuLa6 octahedra. There are six inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Cs and three La atoms. In the second I site, I is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cs and three La atoms. In the third I site, I is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cs and three La atoms. In the fourth I site, I is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs and three La atoms. In the fifth I site, I is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four La atoms. In the sixth I site, I is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs and two La atoms.
