Looks like it's covalent in some compound 'DRG' so I guess the true
electron density will be somewhere intermediate between Cl and Cl-
depending on the relative electronegativity of the atom it's bonded to,
so take your pick as to which you think is closer.  But yes, fully
ionised Cl should be 'Cl-1' and is listed in atomsf.lib as such.
