Materials Data on SbF4 by Materials Project

Abstract

SbF4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two SbF4 ribbons oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. there are four inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.88–1.97 Å. In the second Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.01 Å. In the third Sb site, Sb is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four F atoms. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.52 Å. In the fourth Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form distorted corner-sharing SbF6 pentagonal pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–42°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.42 Å. There are sixteen inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the sixth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the seventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eighth F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the ninth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the tenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the twelfth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the thirteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the fourteenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms. In the fifteenth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the sixteenth F site, F is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two Sb atoms.
