Description
Summary:The crystal structure of tricaesium cobalt pentachloride has been determined by X‐ray diffraction at 10 K. The Co atom is at a site with symmetry, one Cs atom is at a site with 42 symmetry, the other has mm site symmetry, one Cl ligand has 4/m symmetry and the other has m symmetry. The accurate and extensive data set collected should be suitable for charge–density analysis studies. In the CoCl42− ion, as the temperature is lowered, the Co—Cl bond length increases a little and the small distortion of the tetrahedron (site symmetry 2m) is slightly reduced.
