Materials Data on SbN2Cl5 by Materials Project
N2SbCl5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules and four SbCl5 clusters. In each SbCl5 cluster, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted square pyramidal geometry to five Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.37 Å. There are three 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.
