Materials Data on SbSNCl5 by Materials Project
NSSbCl5 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight 1,3,2,4-dithiadiazetidine molecules and sixteen SbCl5 clusters. In each SbCl5 cluster, Sb3+ is bonded in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry to five Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.39 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.
