Notes:
The Cl-N-O angle is 111°. The Cl-N distance in the solid phase is long 218.7(4) nm (compared with 175.9(2) pm in NCl₃) and 197.45(3) nm in the gas phase.
From reference: "The crystal structures are made up by ON–F and ON–Cl molecules with only weak intermolecular interactions. Both molecules have considerable longer nitrogen-halogen bonds and shorter nitrogen-oxygen bonds in the solid than in the gaseous state. These differences between gas and solid state structure are expressed much stronger in ON–Cl than in ON–F."18.8 nm.
