Materials Data on SbIF10 by Materials Project
SbF6IF4 is gamma CuTi structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ibca space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight IF4 clusters and eight SbF6 clusters. In each IF4 cluster, I5+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four F1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.85 Å) and two longer (1.90 Å) I–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. In each SbF6 cluster, Sb5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.90 Å) and four longer (1.94 Å) Sb–F bond length. 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.
