Materials Data on AgClO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

AgClO3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ag sites. In the first Ag site, Ag is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are four shorter (2.62 Å) and four longer (2.75 Å) Ag–O bond lengths. In the second Ag site, Ag is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to four equivalent O atoms. All Ag–O bond lengths are 2.41 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.51 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.52 Å. Cl is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms.
