Materials Data on RhF5 by Materials Project
RhF5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two RhF5 clusters. there are two inequivalent Rh sites. In the first Rh site, Rh is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing RhF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–47°. There are a spread of Rh–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.04 Å. In the second Rh site, Rh is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing RhF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–47°. There are a spread of Rh–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.04 Å. There are ten inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh atom. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Rh atoms. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rh atoms.
