Materials Data on Cl2O7 by Materials Project
O7Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four O7Cl2 clusters. there are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Cl atoms. Both O–Cl bond lengths are 1.77 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.42 Å. Cl is bonded to four O atoms to form corner-sharing ClO4 tetrahedra.
