Chlorine oxide

Dichlorine heptoxide, Cl₂O₇

Chlorine and oxygen can bond in many ways:

• chlorine monoxide, ClO, chlorine (II) oxide
• chlorine peroxide, Cl
  ₂O
  ₂, dimer of chlorine (II) oxide
• chlorine dioxide, ClO
  ₂, chlorine (IV) oxide
• , ClOO
• chlorine trioxide, ClO₃, chlorine (VI) oxide
• dichlorine monoxide, Cl₂O, chlorine (I) oxide
• Three dichlorine dioxides:
  • ClO dimer, Cl₂O₂, chlorine (I) peroxide
  • , ClO₂Cl, chlorine (0,IV) oxide
  • , 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 pentoxide, Cl₂O₅, is hypothetical
• dichlorine hexoxide, chloryl perchlorate, Cl₂O₆, chlorine (V,VII) oxide
• dichlorine heptoxide, Cl₂O₇, chlorine (VII) oxide
