Materials Data on Co(H3Cl)2 by Materials Project
Co(H2Cl)2H2 is Modderite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two hydrogen molecules and two Co(H2Cl)2 clusters. In each Co(H2Cl)2 cluster, Co2+ is bonded in a hexagonal planar geometry to four equivalent H and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Co–H bond lengths are 1.64 Å. Both Co–Cl bond lengths are 2.14 Å. H is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Co2+ and one H atom. The H–H bond length is 0.82 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Co2+ atom.
