Chlorine oxides

chemical compound

Chlorate is the common name of the anion, whose chlorine atom is in the +5 oxidation state. The term can also refer to chemical compounds containing this anion, with chlorates being the salts of chloric acid. Other oxyanions of chlorine can be named "chlorate" followed by a Roman numeral in parentheses denoting the oxidation state of chlorine: e.g., the ion commonly called perchlorate can also be called chlorate(VII).

The chlorite ion, or chlorine dioxide anion, is the halite with the chemical formula of . A chlorite (compound) is a compound that contains this group, with chlorine in the oxidation state of +3. Chlorites are also known as salts of chlorous acid.

In chemistry, chloryl refers to a triatomic cation with chemical formula . This species has the same general structure as chlorite () but it is electronically different, with chlorine having a +5 oxidation state (rather than the +3 of chlorite). This makes it a rare example of a positively charged oxychloride. Chloryl compounds, such as Chloryl fluoride| and [ClO2][RuF6], are all highly reactive and react violently with water and most organic compounds.
