Materials Data on Cu2Cl2O by Materials Project
Cu2OCl2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to two equivalent O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. Both Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.24 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form corner-sharing OCu4 tetrahedra. Cl1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Cu2+ atoms.
