Materials Data on Tm(ClO4)3 by Materials Project
Tm(O4Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are six shorter (2.37 Å) and three longer (2.41 Å) Tm–O bond lengths. There are three 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 1.42 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tm and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Tm and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.47 Å. Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms.
