Chlorine oxide

Dichlorine heptoxide, Cl₂O₇

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⁻
