Materials Data on Sb2Br9 by Materials Project
Sb2Br9 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Sb2Br9 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Sb+1.50+ is bonded to six Br+0.33- atoms to form corner-sharing SbBr6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Sb–Br bond distances ranging from 2.52–2.86 Å. There are four inequivalent Br+0.33- sites. In the first Br+0.33- site, Br+0.33- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sb+1.50+ atoms. In the second Br+0.33- site, Br+0.33- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Sb+1.50+ atoms. In the third Br+0.33- site, Br+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb+1.50+ atom. In the fourth Br+0.33- site, Br+0.33- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb+1.50+ atom.
