Materials Data on SmClF by Materials Project
SmClF crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one SmClF sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sm2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Cl1- and four equivalent F1- atoms. All Sm–Cl bond lengths are 2.88 Å. All Sm–F bond lengths are 2.51 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm2+ atoms. F1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm2+ atoms.
