Materials Data on Hg6Cl3O2 by Materials Project
Hg6O2Cl3 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Hg+1.17+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one O2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. The Hg–O bond length is 2.17 Å. There are a spread of Hg–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.04–3.19 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Hg+1.17+ atoms. Cl1- is bonded to six equivalent Hg+1.17+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ClHg6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°.
