Chlorine andoxygen canbond in a number of ways:

• chlorine monoxide radical,ClO•, chlorine (II) oxide radical
• chloroperoxyl radical,ClO₂•, chlorine (II) peroxide radical
• chlorine dioxide,ClO₂, chlorine (IV) oxide
• chlorine trioxide radical,ClO₃•, chlorine (VI) oxide radical
• chlorine tetroxide radical,ClO₄•, chlorine (VII) oxide radical
• dichlorine monoxide,Cl₂O, chlorine (I) oxide
• chlorine peroxide,Cl₂O₂, dimer of chlorine monoxide radical or ClO dimer, chlorine (I) peroxide
  • chloryl chloride,ClO₂Cl, chlorine (0,IV) oxide
  • chlorine chlorite,ClOClO, chlorine (I,III) oxide
• dichlorine trioxide,Cl₂O₃ asO−Cl−ClO₂, chlorine (III,V) oxide
  • dichlorine trioxide,Cl₂O₃ as possible isomerCl−O−ClO₂, chlorine (I,V) oxide
  • dichlorine trioxide,Cl₂O₃ as hypothetical isomerO−Cl−O−Cl−O, chlorine (III) oxide
• dichlorine tetroxide, also known aschlorine perchlorate,Cl₂O₄ orClOClO₃, chlorine (I,VII) oxide
• dichlorine pentoxide,Cl₂O₅ orClOOClO₃, is hypothetical
• dichlorine hexoxide or chloryl perchlorate,Cl₂O₆ or[ClO₂]⁺[ClO₄]⁻, chlorine (V,VII) oxide
• dichlorine heptoxide,Cl₂O₇, chlorine (VII) oxide
• dichlorine octoxide, chlorine (VII) oxide peroxide or dimer of chlorine tetroxide radical,Cl₂O₈ or(OClO₃)₂

Several ions are also chlorine oxides:

• chloryl,ClO+2
• perchloryl,ClO+3
• hypochlorite,ClO⁻
• chlorite,ClO−2
• chlorate,ClO−3
• perchlorate,ClO−4

• Oxygen fluoride(s),bromine oxide(s),iodine oxide(s) – analogous oxygen halide and halogen oxides
• Sulfur fluoride(s),sulfur chloride(s),sulfur bromide(s),sulfur iodide(s) – analogous sulfur halides, some of which are valence isoelectronic with chlorine oxides.
