Materials Data on Ca2Cu(ClO)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ca2CuO2Cl2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and five equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Ca–O bond lengths are 2.51 Å. There are four shorter (3.00 Å) and one longer (3.27 Å) Ca–Cl bond lengths. Cu2+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.94 Å. Both Cu–Cl bond lengths are 2.79 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing OCa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. Cl1- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ca2+ and one Cu2+ atom.
