Materials Data on CeClO by Materials Project
CeOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and five equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Ce–O bond lengths are 2.36 Å. All Ce–Cl bond lengths are 3.18 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ce3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe4 tetrahedra. Cl1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Ce3+ atoms.
