Materials Data on Hg3(ClO)2 by Materials Project
Hg3O2Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Hg2+ sites. In the first Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.42 Å. There are a spread of Hg–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.26 Å. In the second Hg2+ site, Hg2+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent O2- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both Hg–O bond lengths are 2.11 Å. There are two shorter (3.07 Å) and two longer (3.08 Å) Hg–Cl bond lengths. O2- is bonded to four Hg2+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OHg4 tetrahedra. Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Hg2+ atoms.
