Materials Data on BaH4(ClO)2 by Materials Project
BaH4(OCl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four O2- and five Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–2.93 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.39 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and two H1+ atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+ atoms. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ atoms.
