Materials Data on SrNiF6 by Materials Project

SrNiF6 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to twelve equivalent F1- atoms to form SrF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent NiF6 octahedra, edges with six equivalent SrF12 cuboctahedra, and faces with two equivalent NiF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. There are six shorter (2.68 Å) and six longer (2.75 Å) Sr–F bond lengths. Ni4+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form NiF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SrF12 cuboctahedra and faces with two equivalent SrF12 cuboctahedra. All Ni–F bond lengths are 1.80 Å. F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and one Ni4+ atom.
