Materials Data on SbC(Cl2O)2 by Materials Project
CSb(OCl2)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two CSb(OCl2)2 clusters. In one of the CSb(OCl2)2 clusters, C3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. Sb5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two O2- and four Cl1- atoms. Both Sb–O bond lengths are 2.21 Å. There are two shorter (2.33 Å) and two longer (2.36 Å) Sb–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C3+ and one Sb5+ atom. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In one of the CSb(OCl2)2 clusters, C3+ is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. Both C–O bond lengths are 1.27 Å. Sb5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two O2- and four Cl1- atoms. Both Sb–O bond lengths are 2.21 Å. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.36 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one C3+ and one Sb5+ atom. There are four inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb5+ atom.
