Chlorine oxide

Chlorine and oxygen can bond in many ways:

  • chlorine monoxide, ClO, chlorine(II) oxide
  • chlorine dioxide, ClO
    2    , chlorine(IV) oxide
  • chloroperoxyl, ClOO
  • chlorine trioxide, ClO3, chlorine(VI) oxide
  • dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O, chlorine(I) oxide
  • Three dichlorine dioxides:
  • ClO dimer, Cl2O2, chlorine(I) peroxide
  • chloryl chloride, ClO2Cl, chlorine(0,IV) oxide
  • chlorine chlorite, ClOClO, chlorine(I,III) oxide
  • dichlorine trioxide, Cl2O3, chlorine(I,V) oxide
  • dichlorine tetroxide, also known as chlorine perchlorate, ClOClO3, chlorine(I,VII) oxide
  • dichlorine hexoxide, chloryl perchlorate, Cl2O6, chlorine(V,VII) oxide
  • dichlorine heptoxide, Cl2O7, chlorine(VII) oxide
  • chlorine tetroxide
  • chlorine(VII) oxide peroxide, (OClO3)2

    • Several ions are also chlorine oxides:

  • chloryl, ClO+
    2
  • perchloryl, ClO3+
  • hypochlorite, ClO−
  • chlorite, ClO2−
  • chlorate, ClO3−
  • perchlorate, ClO4−
