Materials Data on AgClO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

AgClO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one AgClO4 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Ag is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are a spread of Ag–O bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.71 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.45 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ag and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.49 Å. In the third 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 1.47 Å. Cl is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms.
