CsO2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cs(1) is bonded to eight equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing CsO8 hexagonal bipyramids. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms.
CsO2Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. Cs(1) is bonded to eight equivalent O(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing CsO8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are four shorter (3.18 Å) and four longer (3.43 Å) Cs(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cs(1) and one Cl(1) atom. The O(1)-Cl(1) bond length is 1.58 Å. Cl(1) is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms.
