Halogens and oxygen they do not combine directly with oxygen
due to high electron affinity of both halogens and oxygen but their oxides with
oxygen can be prepared indirectly.
The compounds of oxygen with fluorine are called as
fluorides (not a oxide) because fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen.
Most of these compounds are endothermic and unstable and are likely to explode
resulting in the formation of more stable products.
The compounds of chlorine
,bromine and Iodine with oxygen are called oxide because electronegtivity of
oxygen is greater than these. And the common oxides of halogens are X2O,
X2O3, X2O5, and X3O7
(common oxidation state of 17th group) and uncommon oxides are ClO2
(+4) and ClO3/Cl2O6 etc.

All the oxides are powerful oxidizing agents and decompose explosively when they
are given mechanical shock or heat.
Structure of chlorine oxides:
Structure of dichlorine heptaoxide:
Avarage oxidation state of Chlorine in Cl2O7 is
one of the common oxidation state of the chlorine so there is (Cl-O-Cl) Oxy-linkage
will be present. And one of oxygen atom is shared by both of chlorine atoms and
rest of the oxygen atoms equally distributed.
The whole molecule dichlorine heptaoxide (Cl2O7)
is non planer and polar and oxygen atom of (Cl-O-Cl) oxy-linkage does not
involve in delocalization due to maximum repulsion hence two Cl-O bond have
equal length and bond order may be/equal to one while other six Cl=O bond have eqaual bond length
In dichlorine heptaoxide (Cl2O7) , two ClO4
group connected with an oxygen atom which is sp3 hybridised (non planer) and bond angle may be expected
109⦁28’ but actually due to the presence of two lone pair on oxygen atom the
Cl-O-Cl bond angle deviated from ideal and it may be
greater (119⦁) than ideal bond angle.
