Abstract: | Colourless single crystals of the anhydrous mercurous chlorate were grown from a solution of mercuric oxide (HgO) in chloric acid (HClO3) in the presence of elemental mercury. The crystal structure (monoclinic, P21/n, Z = 4, a = 816.59(12), b = 641.02(5), c = 1290.3(2) pm, β = 97.506(12)°, R(all) = 0.0317) contains trans‐O2ClO‐Hg‐Hg‐OClO2 molecules with a Hg‐Hg distance of 251.03(4) pm, Hg‐O (bond) distances of 218 and 224 pm and Hg‐Hg‐O angles of 177 and 165°, respectively. |
