Materials Data on Dy(ClO2)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Dy(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Dy(O2Cl)3 sheet oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Dy is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.26–2.29 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Dy and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.56 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Dy and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.70 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Dy and one Cl atom. The O–Cl bond length is 1.68 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a linear geometry to two O atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent O atoms.
