'''Bismuth oxychloride''' is an ] of ] with the ] ]]]. It is a lustrous white solid used since antiquity, notably in ]. Light wave interference from its plate-like structure gives a pearly ] light reflectivity similar to ]. Previously, until the last decade of the twentieth century, bismuth oxochloride was known as ''] chloride''. It is also known as ] ''pearl white''.
'''Bismuth oxychloride''' is a ] of ], ], and ], with the ] BiOCl. It exists in nature as the mineral '''bismoclite''' which is part of the ] mineral group.


==Structure== ==Structure==
The structure of bismuth oxychloride can be thought of as ] of {{chem2|Cl-}}, {{chem2|Bi(3+)}} and {{chem2|O(2-)}} ions (in the image Bi = grey, O = red, Cl = green). These ions are ordered as Cl–Bi–O–Bi–Cl–Cl–Bi–O–Bi–Cl, i.e., with alternating anions ({{chem2|Cl-}}, {{chem2|O(2-)}}) and cations ({{chem2|Bi(3+)}}). The layered structure gives rise to the pearlescent properties of this material.
BiOCl crystallises in the ] ] P4/nmm. The ] can be thought of as consisting of layers of Cl<sup>−</sup>, Bi<sup>3+</sup> and O<sup>2−</sup> ions, in the order Cl-Bi-O-Bi-Cl-Cl-Bi-O-Bi-Cl.


The bismuth atoms adopt a distorted ]atic ], with four chlorine atoms forming one of the square faces, each at a distance of 3.06&nbsp;Å from Bi, and four oxygen atoms forming the other square face, each at a distance of 2.32&nbsp;Å from Bi. Focusing on the coordination environment of the individual ions, the bismuth centers adopt a distorted ]atic ]. The Bi atom is coordinated to four Cl atoms, forming one of the square faces, each at a distance of 3.06&nbsp;] from Bi, and four O atoms forming the other square face, each at a distance of 2.32&nbsp;Å from Bi. The O atoms are ] by four Bi atoms.<ref name=str>{{cite journal|last1=Keramidas|first1=K. G.|last2=Voutsas|first2=G. P.|last3=Rentzeperis|first3=P.

When heated above 600&nbsp;°C, BiOCl converts to {{chem2|Bi24O31Cl10}}, called the "Arppe compound" which has a complex layer structure.<ref>{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd|page=572}}</ref><ref name="EggenweilerKeller2000">{{cite journal|last1=Eggenweiler|first1=U.|last2=Keller|first2=E.|last3=Krämer|first3=V.|title=Redetermination of the crystal structures of the 'Arppe compound' Bi<sub>24</sub>O<sub>31</sub>Cl<sub>10</sub> and the isomorphous Bi<sub>24</sub>O<sub>31</sub>Br<sub>10</sub>|journal= Acta Crystallographica Section B|volume=56|issue=3|year=2000|pages=431–437|issn=0108-7681|doi=10.1107/S0108768100000550|pmid=10877351}}</ref>
