Materials Data on H8CN2(ClO5)2 by Materials Project
CH8(NO)2(ClO4)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four [methanediylbis(oxy)]diammonium molecules and eight ClO4 clusters. In each ClO4 cluster, there are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.46 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.44 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.48 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms.
