Overcoming repulsion : Two chloride anions are glued together by six Cl⋅⋅⋅HO hydrogen bonds in the stable dichloride hydrate cube [Cl 2 (H 2 O) 6 ] 2− . The solid‐state structure of the cluster determined by X‐ray diffraction of its salt (see picture; Cl green, O red, H white) is consistent with the gas‐phase structures calculated at two levels of theory.
