Materials Data on H9Au(ClO)4 by Materials Project
AuCl4(H2O)2H5O2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one molecular hydrogen;dihydrate molecule, two water molecules, and one AuCl4 cluster. In the AuCl4 cluster, Au3+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.31 Å) and three longer (2.32 Å) Au–Cl bond lengths. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au3+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Au3+ atom.
