Materials Data on SnClF by Materials Project
SnClF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two SnClF ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Sn2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Cl1- and three equivalent F1- atoms. The Sn–Cl bond length is 2.55 Å. There are one shorter (2.28 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) Sn–F bond lengths. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sn2+ atom. F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent Sn2+ atoms.
