ClHOPb
ClHOPb is a stable, wide-gap insulating compound composed of lead, chlorine, oxygen, and hydrogen.

About ClHOPb
ClHOPb is a lead-based inorganic compound that exhibits insulating electronic characteristics. As a thermodynamically stable material located on the convex hull, it represents a robust structural configuration within its chemical system.
Its stability and wide-gap nature make it an interesting subject for fundamental research into lead-based halides and hydroxides. The material is characterized by its structural diversity, with multiple reported configurations documented in scientific databases.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for ClHOPb, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
StructuresCount of reported calculated crystal structures for this formula, including alternate polymorphs, source databases, and observed space groups.
Cross-Source DFT Agreement
How well independent DFT databases agree on the thermodynamics of ClHOPb. Tight agreement means computed properties can be trusted without re-running calculations.
Only 1 independent DFT source (materials_project) reports a hull energy for ClHOPb, so cross-source agreement can't be assessed yet.

Lowest-energy structures reported for ClHOPb, ranked by energy above hull.
| Space GroupSymmetry classification of the crystal arrangement. The number is the international space-group index. | Crystal SystemBroad lattice family, such as cubic, tetragonal, monoclinic, or triclinic, derived from unit-cell symmetry. | Band Gap (eV)Electronic gap calculated for this specific reported structure, measured in electronvolts. | E above hull (eV/atom)Thermodynamic distance from the convex hull for this structure, normalized per atom. Lower is generally more stable. | E/atom (eV)Computed total energy normalized per atom.
