Materials Data on SbOF3 by Materials Project

Abstract

SbOF3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two SbOF3 clusters. Sb5+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and three F1- atoms to form edge-sharing SbO2F3 trigonal bipyramids. There is one shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.02 Å) Sb–O bond length. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–1.90 Å. O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to two equivalent Sb5+ atoms. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom.
