PuOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Pu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OPu4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pu(1) atoms.
PuOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Pu(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Pu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There is one shorter (3.09 Å) and four longer (3.10 Å) Pu(1)-Cl(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Pu(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OPu4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Pu(1) atoms.
