Materials Data on LiH6ClO7 by Materials Project
Li(H2O)3ClO4 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two ClO4 clusters and one Li(H2O)3 ribbon oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each ClO4 cluster, there are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.45 Å. Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. In the Li(H2O)3 ribbon, Li is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form face-sharing LiO6 octahedra. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.15 Å. H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to two equivalent Li and two equivalent H atoms.
