Abstract

CuF4ClF6 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two ClF6 clusters and two CuF4 clusters. In each ClF6 cluster, Cl is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Cl–F bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.72 Å. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cl atom. In each CuF4 cluster, Cu is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four F atoms. All Cu–F bond lengths are 1.76 Å. There are four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Cu atom.
