Materials Data on XeN2(OF4)2 by Materials Project
XeF8(NO)2 is Cotunnite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight nitroxyl molecules and four XeF8 clusters. In each XeF8 cluster, Xe is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F atoms. There are a spread of Xe–F bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.31 Å. There are five inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the second F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the third F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fourth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom. In the fifth F site, F is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Xe atom.
