Abstract

Single crystals of LiClO4 were obtained during attempts to prepare lithium containing rare earth perchlorates from a lithium perchlorate melt. In the crystal structure of LiClO4 (ortho-rhombic, Pnma, Z =4, a = 865.7(1), b = 691.29(9) pm, c = 483.23(6), Rall = 0.0273) the Li+ ions are in distorted octahedral coordination of oxygen atoms. The octahedra are linked via common edges to chains according to 1[LiO2/1O4/2] which run in the [010] direction. The perchlorate ions are almost ideal tetrahedra.
