description: SbTe6(OF5)6Te2Cl6F crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one SbTe6(OF5)6 cluster and one Te2Cl6F cluster. In the SbTe6(OF5)6 cluster, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six TeOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–40°. There is two shorter (1.99 Å) and four longer (2.00 Å) Sb–O bond length. There are three inequivalent Te+5.50+ sites. In the first Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form TeOF5 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. The Te–O bond length is 1.88 Å. There are a spread of Te–F bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.90 Å. In the second Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form TeOF5 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. The Te–O bond length is 1.89 Å. There is one shorter (1.87 Å) and four longer (1.88 Å) Te–F bond length. In the third Te+5.50+ site, Te+5.50+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form TeOF5 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. The Te–O bond length is 1.89 Å. There are a spread of Te–F bond distances ranging from 1.87–1.89 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one Te+5.50+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one Te+5.50+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one Te+5.50+ atom. There are fifteen inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the ninth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the tenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the eleventh F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the twelfth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the thirteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the fourteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the fifteenth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the Te2Cl6F cluster, Te+5.50+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Cl1- and one F1- atom. There are two shorter (2.31 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) Te–Cl bond lengths. The Te–F bond length is 2.24 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Te+5.50+ atom. F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Te+5.50+ atoms.
