Materials Data on SF4 by Materials Project

Abstract

SF4 is beta-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight sulfur tetrafluoride molecules. S4+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four F1- atoms. There are a spread of S–F bond distances ranging from 1.58–1.72 Å. There are four inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S4+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S4+ atom.
