Structure Image[edit]
Has the structure been determined? Wiberg quotes a different structure from the one illustrated. ( by the way The illustration seems to show an unbalanced negative charge.) The structure of the bromine analogue, Br2O3, is (ignoring the charge) as illustrated. --Axiosaurus (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- The bar over one of the chlorine atoms is a nonbonded pair of electrons (standard way of representing it in some non-US locales). I don't have access to the Wiberg ref at the moment. What bonding pattern do he give as most likely, and what other ones does he also mention? DMacks (talk) 07:48, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- See also the refs at it:Triossido di dicloro, scientific publications that sound like they discuss the structure. DMacks (talk) 23:16, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
