Materials Data on Al(ClO2)3 by Materials Project
Al(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of three Al(O2Cl)3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Al is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O atoms. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.92 Å. O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Al and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.60 Å. Cl is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent O atoms.
