Materials Data on AuClO2 by Materials Project
AuClO2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen peroxide molecules and two AuCl ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each AuCl ribbon, Au5+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both Au–Cl bond lengths are 2.42 Å. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Au5+ atoms.
