Materials Data on La(ClO)3 by Materials Project
La(OCl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one La(OCl)3 ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. La is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O and six equivalent Cl atoms. All La–O bond lengths are 2.49 Å. All La–Cl bond lengths are 2.93 Å. O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one La atom. Cl is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent La atoms.
