Materials Data on Ni(ClO2)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni(O2Cl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Ni(O2Cl)2 clusters. Ni is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four O and two Cl atoms. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.88 Å. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Ni–Cl bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Ni atom.
