Materials Data on Cs3Cl5O by Materials Project
(Cs3Cl5)2O2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of two water molecules and one Cs3Cl5 framework. In the Cs3Cl5 framework, Cs is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight Cl atoms. There are a spread of Cs–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.29–3.85 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cs and one Cl atom. The Cl–Cl bond length is 2.66 Å. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs atoms. In the third Cl site, Cl is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six equivalent Cs and one Cl atom.
