Materials Data on CuHClO by Materials Project
Cu(OH)Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Cu(OH)Cl sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Cu2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O2- and three equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.08 Å. There are a spread of Cu–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.87 Å. H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cu2+ and one H1+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cu2+ atoms.
