Materials Data on Sb4ClO6 by Materials Project
(Sb2O3)4Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of four hydrochloric acid molecules and two Sb2O3 ribbons oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. In each Sb2O3 ribbon, there are four inequivalent Sb+3.25+ sites. In the first Sb+3.25+ site, Sb+3.25+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.14 Å. In the second Sb+3.25+ site, Sb+3.25+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.19 Å. In the third Sb+3.25+ site, Sb+3.25+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.18 Å. In the fourth Sb+3.25+ site, Sb+3.25+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.20 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Sb+3.25+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Sb+3.25+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Sb+3.25+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Sb+3.25+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two Sb+3.25+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three Sb+3.25+ atoms.
