Materials Data on Sn(ClO)2 by Materials Project

SnCl2O2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four hydrogen peroxide molecules and one SnCl2 sheet oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. In the SnCl2 sheet, Sn is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Cl atoms. There are a spread of Sn–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.02 Å. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sn atoms. In the second Cl site, Cl is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sn atoms.
