Materials Data on ZnSb2(XeF4)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zn(XeF2)6(SbF6)2 is Fluorite structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of six SbF6 clusters and three Zn(XeF2)6 clusters. In each SbF6 cluster, Sb is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There is three shorter (1.92 Å) and three longer (1.93 Å) Sb–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In each Zn(XeF2)6 cluster, Xe is bonded in a linear geometry to two F atoms. There are one shorter (2.03 Å) and one longer (2.16 Å) Xe–F bond lengths. Zn is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent F atoms. All Zn–F bond lengths are 2.05 Å. There are two 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 bent 120 degrees geometry to one Xe and one Zn atom.
