The IR spectrum of matrix-isqlated dichlorine hexaoxide shows that there are two inequivalent chlorine atoms in the molecule and that it is best described as the mixed anhydride of chloric and perchloric acids. Of 18 fundamental vibrations, 16 were observed and many of them were assigned. O3ClOClO2 exhibits a broad UV absorption at 268 nm (εmax = 3000 dm3 mol-1 cm-1) in the gas phase. It is decomposed on photolysis in an Ar matrix to ClOClO3 and O2. The kinetics of formation and decomposition of O3ClOClO2 in the gas phase were also investigated. The rate of formation depends strongly on the concentration of ClO2 and O3. Cl2O6 does not dissociate into ClO3 radicals, and the primary stable decomposition products are ClO2, ClOClO3, and O2.
