Materials Data on Sb5IO7 by Materials Project
Sb5O7I crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All Sb–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and one longer (2.09 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Sb3+ and one I1- atom. The O–I bond length is 3.80 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sb3+ atoms. I1- is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms.
