Materials Data on SbAsPCl13 by Materials Project
SbCl6AsCl3PCl4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmc2_1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four [pcl4]+1 molecules, four trichloroarsine molecules, and four SbCl6 clusters. In each SbCl6 cluster, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.43 Å. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom.
