Abstract

AsF6SCl3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four AsF6 clusters and four SCl3 clusters. In each AsF6 cluster, As5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.77 Å) and four longer (1.78 Å) As–F bond length. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In each SCl3 cluster, S4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.00 Å) S–Cl bond length. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one S4+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one S4+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one S4+ atom.
