ChemInform Abstract

The novel layered niobium oxochloride (VI) crystallizes in the trigonal space group Pequation imagec1 with Z = 2 (single crystal XRD). The crystal structure is based on octahedral Nb6 cluster cores coordinated by eight inner chloride, four inner oxide, and six terminal outer chloride ligands. The clusters share outer chloride ligands to form layers characterized by large six-membered rings.
