Materials Data on CuN2(Cl2O)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

CuCl4O2N2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ammonia molecules and two CuCl4O2 clusters. In each CuCl4O2 cluster, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two O2- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.91 Å. Both Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.16 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.61 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.61 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom.
