Materials Data on SbF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

SbF6 is Modderite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2_12_12_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four hydrofluoric acid molecules and four Sb2F11 clusters. In each Sb2F11 cluster, there are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.04 Å. In the second Sb site, Sb is bonded to six F atoms to form corner-sharing SbF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 34°. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.89–2.14 Å. There are eleven 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 single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. 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 single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. 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 single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. 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 single-bond geometry to one Sb atom. In the eleventh F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb atom.
