Abstract: The structures of tetragonal (P42/ncm) lithium chlorite, LiClO2, and orthorhombic (Cmcm) potassium chlorite, KClO2, have been determined by single-crystal X-ray analyses. In LiClO2, the Li atom is at a site of 
symmetry, while in KClO2, the K atom is at a site with 2/m symmetry. In both compounds, the unique Cl and O atoms are at sites with mm and m symmetry, respectively. The structure of LiClO2 consists of layers of Li+ cations coordinated by ClO2- anions. In contrast, the structure of KClO2 contains pseudo-layers of K+ and ClO2- ions containing four short K-O distances. The Li+ and K+ cations are surrounded by four and eight chlorite O atoms in tetrahedral and distorted cubic coordination environments, respectively.
Formula: LiClO2 and KClO2

If the supplementary material that you require is not shown in the list above, it may only be available in our hard-copy archive. However, our policy is to progressively digitize old hard-copy supplementary documents where possible.
Please help us to work towards this goal by completing the form below. This will register your wish to receive a supplementary document, which we shall scan to create a PDF and then make available via the web to you and to other requestors in the future.
