Ba(ClO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(2) atoms. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom.
Ba(ClO3)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. Ba(1) is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(3), four equivalent O(1), and four equivalent O(2) atoms. Both Ba(1)-O(3) bond lengths are 2.77 Å. There are two shorter (2.81 Å) and two longer (2.84 Å) Ba(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are two shorter (2.82 Å) and two longer (3.06 Å) Ba(1)-O(2) bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(3) is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(3)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.47 Å. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.50 Å. In the third O site, O(2) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(2)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.50 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one O(1), one O(2), and one O(3) atom.
