Materials Data on SbCNCl6 by Materials Project

Abstract

CSbNCl6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four CSbNCl6 clusters. C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one N3- and one Cl1- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. The C–Cl bond length is 1.59 Å. Sb5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one N3- and five Cl1- atoms. The Sb–N bond length is 2.32 Å. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and four longer (2.38 Å) Sb–Cl bond lengths. N3- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one C4+ and one Sb5+ atom. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
