Materials Data on AgClO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

AgO2Cl crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one AgO2Cl sheet oriented in the (-1, 1, 0) direction. there are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag is bonded in a linear geometry to two O atoms. There are one shorter (2.11 Å) and one longer (2.12 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. In the second Ag site, Ag is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.18 Å. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.90 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.57 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.57 Å. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.91 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two O atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a linear geometry to two O atoms.
