Materials Data on IF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

IF5 is beta-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twenty IF5 clusters. I5+ is bonded in a square pyramidal geometry to five F1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.85 Å) and four longer (1.93 Å) I–F bond length. There are five 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 the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom.
