Materials Data on SbF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

SbF5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one SbF4 cluster and one SbF6 cluster. In the SbF4 cluster, Sb5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.57–2.01 Å. There are four 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. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the SbF6 cluster, Sb5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.26 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom.
