Materials Data on SbSCl9 by Materials Project

SbCl6SCl3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four SCl3 clusters and four SbCl6 clusters. In each SCl3 cluster, S6+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Cl1- atoms. All S–Cl bond lengths are 2.00 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S6+ atom. In two of the SbCl6 clusters, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Cl1- atoms. All Sb–Cl bond lengths are 2.42 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In two of the SbCl6 clusters, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. The Cl–Sb bond length is 2.41 Å. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. The Cl–Sb bond length is 2.41 Å.
