Materials Data on BrClO by Materials Project
BrOCl crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of six BrOCl ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Br atoms. There are one shorter (1.76 Å) and one longer (2.33 Å) O–Br bond lengths. Br is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O and one Cl atom. The Br–Cl bond length is 2.29 Å. Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Br atom.
