Materials Data on CuH4(IO4)2 by Materials Project
CuH4(O4I)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.54 Å. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.01 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.01 Å) and one longer (1.61 Å) H–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Cu2+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.85 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cu2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. I5+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms.
