Materials Data on AuCl4O3 by Materials Project
(AuCl4)2(O2)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four trioxidane molecules and four AuCl4 clusters. In each AuCl4 cluster, Au is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl atoms. There are a spread of Au–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.33 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au atom. In the third Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au atom.
