Materials Data on CuN2(Cl2O)2 by Materials Project
CuN2(OCl2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu2+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.82 Å. N3+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Cl1- atoms. All N–Cl bond lengths are 2.29 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cu2+ and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.13 Å) and two longer (2.46 Å) O–Cl bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent N3+ and two equivalent O2- atoms.
