Materials Data on AsXe2F9 by Materials Project
Xe2F3AsF6 is alpha iridium vanadium-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of twelve AsF6 clusters and twelve Xe2F3 clusters. In each AsF6 cluster, As is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There is one shorter (1.77 Å) and five longer (1.78 Å) As–F bond length. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one As atom. In four of the Xe2F3 clusters, Xe is bonded in a linear geometry to two F atoms. There are one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.22 Å) Xe–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Xe atoms. In eight of the Xe2F3 clusters, there are two inequivalent Xe sites. In the first Xe site, Xe is bonded in a linear geometry to two F atoms. There are one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.21 Å) Xe–F bond lengths. In the second Xe site, Xe is bonded in a linear geometry to two F atoms. There are one shorter (2.00 Å) and one longer (2.22 Å) Xe–F bond lengths. There are three inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Xe atoms.
