Materials Data on WF5 by Materials Project
WF5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one WF5 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 1) direction. there are two inequivalent W5+ sites. In the first W5+ site, W5+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing WF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. There are a spread of W–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.06 Å. In the second W5+ site, W5+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing WF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. There are a spread of W–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.06 Å. There are ten inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two W5+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two W5+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom. In the tenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one W5+ atom.
