YOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OY4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1) atoms.
YOCl is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Y(1) is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent Cl(1) atoms. All Y(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.24 Å. There are four shorter (3.06 Å) and one longer (3.08 Å) Y(1)-Cl(1) bond length. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Y(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OY4 tetrahedra. Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Y(1) atoms.
