Materials Data on CuH8(ClO5)2 by Materials Project
CuH8(O5Cl)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four CuH8(O5Cl)2 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Cu is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.47 Å. There are four inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.71 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.53 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cu and two H atoms. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one H and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.50 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Cu and two H atoms. Cl is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms.
