Overcoming repulsion: Two chloride anions are glued together by six Cl⋯H-O hydrogen bonds in the stable dichloride hydrate cube [Cl 2(H2O)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.
