CsClO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(3), and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms.
CsClO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Cs(1) is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1), three equivalent O(3), and six equivalent O(2) atoms. There is one shorter (3.21 Å) and two longer (3.59 Å) Cs(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There is one shorter (3.17 Å) and two longer (3.43 Å) Cs(1)-O(3) bond lengths. There are a spread of Cs(1)-O(2) bond distances ranging from 3.15-3.24 Å. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.44 Å. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(2)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.45 Å. In the third O site, O(3) is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(3)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.44 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(1), one O(3), and two equivalent O(2) atoms.
