Materials Data on Fe(ClO2)3 by Materials Project
(Fe(O3Cl)2)2Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two hydrochloric acid molecules and two Fe(O3Cl)2 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each Fe(O3Cl)2 ribbon, Fe is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four equivalent O and two equivalent Cl atoms. All Fe–O bond lengths are 2.19 Å. Both Fe–Cl bond lengths are 2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Fe and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.35 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent O atoms. Cl is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Fe atom.
