Materials Data on XeF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

XeF6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four XeF6 clusters. there are four inequivalent Xe sites. In the first Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.42 Å. In the second Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.45 Å. In the third Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.44 Å. In the fourth Xe site, Xe is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.45 Å. There are twenty-four inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Xe atoms. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the twelfth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the thirteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fourteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fifteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the sixteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the seventeenth F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Xe atoms. In the eighteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the nineteenth F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Xe atoms. In the twentieth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the twenty-first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the twenty-second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the twenty-third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the twenty-fourth F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Xe atoms.
