Materials Data on ClOF3 by Materials Project
OClF3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four OClF3 clusters. In two of the OClF3 clusters, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.41 Å. Cl is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to one O and three F atoms. There are a spread of Cl–F bond distances ranging from 1.67–1.88 Å. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom.
