Materials Data on SbH16C4N2Cl5 by Materials Project
((CH3)2NH2)2SbCl5 is Silicon tetrafluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight dimethylazanium molecules and four SbCl5 clusters. In each SbCl5 cluster, Sb3+ is bonded in a square pyramidal geometry to five Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.90 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.
