Materials Data on GdClO2 by Materials Project

GdO2Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to six O and three equivalent Cl atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.46 Å. There are two shorter (2.84 Å) and one longer (2.94 Å) Gd–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms. Cl is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms.
