Materials Data on MgH12(ClO6)2 by Materials Project
Mg(H2O)6(ClO3)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two magnesium;hexahydrate molecules and four ClO3 clusters. In each ClO3 cluster, there are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. Cl is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms.
