Abstract

Cu6OF11 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Cu+2.17+ sites. In the first Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–55°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.32 Å. In the second Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–53°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.30 Å. In the third Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form CuOF5 octahedra that share corners with eight CuF6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent CuOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–58°. The Cu–O bond length is 1.84 Å. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.36 Å. In the fourth Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–54°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.30 Å. In the fifth Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–52°. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.24 Å. In the sixth Cu+2.17+ site, Cu+2.17+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form distorted CuO2F4 octahedra that share corners with eight CuF6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent CuO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–58°. There is one shorter (1.88 Å) and one longer (2.03 Å) Cu–O bond length. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.42 Å. O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Cu+2.17+ atoms. There are eleven inequivalent F1- sites.
