Hg3PO4Cl crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and one Cl(1) atom. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Hg(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
Hg3PO4Cl crystallizes in the cubic P2_13 space group. Hg(1) is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1) and one Cl(1) atom. There is one shorter (2.29 Å) and one longer (2.39 Å) Hg(1)-O(1) bond length. The Hg(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 2.78 Å. P(1) is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to one O(2) and three equivalent O(1) atoms. The P(1)-O(2) bond length is 1.53 Å. All P(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.58 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Hg(1) and one P(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one P(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Hg(1) atoms.
