Materials Data on AsF5 by Materials Project
AsF5 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two AsF5 clusters. As5+ is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to five F1- atoms. There is three shorter (1.72 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) As–F bond length. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As5+ atom.
