description: K5Nb16(O5F2)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4mm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and five F1- atoms. All K–O bond lengths are 2.98 Å. There are one shorter (2.60 Å) and four longer (2.96 Å) K–F bond lengths. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and five F1- atoms. All K–O bond lengths are 3.06 Å. There are one shorter (2.51 Å) and four longer (2.96 Å) K–F bond lengths. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and five F1- atoms. All K–O bond lengths are 2.88 Å. There are one shorter (2.69 Å) and four longer (2.96 Å) K–F bond lengths. There are seven inequivalent Nb+2.69+ sites. In the first Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing NbO4F square pyramids. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.09 Å. The Nb–F bond length is 2.12 Å.

In the third Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing NbO4F square pyramids. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.09 Å. The Nb–F bond length is 2.10 Å. In the fourth Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.13 Å. In the fifth Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing NbO4F square pyramids. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.09 Å. The Nb–F bond length is 2.12 Å. In the sixth Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- and one F1- atom to form corner-sharing NbO4F square pyramids. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.09 Å. The Nb–F bond length is 2.00 Å. In the seventh Nb+2.69+ site, Nb+2.69+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.13 Å.
