Materials Data on PtXeF11 by Materials Project
XeF5PtF6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four PtF6 clusters and four XeF5 clusters. In each PtF6 cluster, Pt is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F atoms. There are a spread of Pt–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.96 Å. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt atom. In each XeF5 cluster, Xe is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to five F atoms. There is two shorter (1.98 Å) and three longer (1.99 Å) Xe–F bond length. 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 single-bond geometry to one Xe atom.
