Abstract: | On CsLiCl2 CsLiCl2 crystallizes with a = 492.35(9), c = 950.0(3) pm (Guinier data), tetragonal, P4/nmm, Z = 2. The crystal structure was determined and refined from single crystal data (R = 5.2, Rw = 4.0%). It is essentially that proposed earlier for KCoO2 which is isotypic with CsLuO2. In CsLiCl2 Cs+ has C.N. = 9 (d? = 363 pm), Li+ C.N. = 5 (tetragonal pyramid) with d(Li? Cl) = 231 and 4 × 260 pm, respectively. |
