Materials Data on Sm3W(ClO2)3 by Materials Project
Sm3W(O2Cl)3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm3+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- and four equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.38–2.62 Å. There are a spread of Sm–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.02 Å. W6+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All W–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Sm3+ and one W6+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OSm3W tetrahedra. Cl1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sm3+ atoms.
