This is a continuation of the previous work of the authors [Quasialgebra structure of octonions, J. Algebra 220, 188--224 (1999; Zbl 0999.17006)], where they constructed the octonions and the other Cayley algebras by a twisting procedure applied to group algebras \(KG\) by a 2-cochain \(F\) on the group. Here they explore the construction further using this point of view to give a new derivation of known results about Clifford algebras and to generalize them. In particular, it is shown how a specific cocycle gives the usual Clifford algebras and many of their properties; there are given some constructions for general groups and cocycles that include and generalize the periodicity theorems; there are obtained in a new fashion spinor constructions for usual Clifford algebras.
