Materials Data on Cs3CoF6 by Materials Project
Cs3CoF6 crystallizes in the cubic Fm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent F1- atoms to form distorted CsF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CsF6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent CoF6 octahedra. All Cs–F bond lengths are 3.41 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form CsF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoF6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Cs–F bond lengths are 2.84 Å. Co3+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form CoF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. All Co–F bond lengths are 1.95 Å. F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to five Cs1+ and one Co3+ atom.
