K2Cu(OCl2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/mnm space group. K(1) is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to four equivalent Cl(1) and four equivalent Cl(2) atoms. Cu(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O(1), two equivalent Cl(1), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu(1) atom. In the second O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu(1) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner, face, and edge-sharing ClK4Cu square pyramids. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of corner, face, and edge-sharing ClK4Cu square pyramids.
