Materials Data on YSnF7 by Materials Project

YSnF7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Y3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Y–F bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.39 Å. Sn4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sn–F bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.01 Å. There are seven inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Y3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Y3+ and one Sn4+ atom.
