CsO3Cl is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCs3Cl tetrahedra. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms.
CsO3Cl is Potassium chlorate structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(2) and six equivalent O(1) atoms. There is one shorter (3.21 Å) and two longer (3.42 Å) Cs(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are a spread of Cs(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 3.20-3.31 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCs3Cl tetrahedra. The O(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.51 Å. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(2)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.51 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(2) and two equivalent O(1) atoms.
