Title: Materials Data on H2CO by Materials Project

Abstract

CH2O crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six 1,3,5-trioxane molecules. C2+ is bonded to two H and two equivalent O2- atoms to form corner-sharing CH2O2 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.09 Å) and one longer (1.11 Å) C–H bond length. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.43 Å. There are two inequivalent H sites. In the first H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. In the second H site, H is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent C2+ atoms.
