Materials Data on CBr3F by Materials Project
CFBr3 is beta Np structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four tribromofluoromethane molecules. C4+ is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to three Br1- and one F1- atom. There is two shorter (1.95 Å) and one longer (1.96 Å) C–Br bond length. The C–F bond length is 1.36 Å. There are two inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom.
