Materials Data on Cr(ClO)2 by Materials Project
CrO2Cl2 is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CrO2Cl2 clusters. Cr6+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to two O2- and two Cl1- atoms. Both Cr–O bond lengths are 1.59 Å. There are one shorter (2.12 Å) and one longer (2.13 Å) Cr–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr6+ atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr6+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cr6+ atom.
