Materials Data on Sb3ClO4 by Materials Project

Sb3O4Cl crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three O2- and one Cl1- atom. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.10 Å. The Sb–Cl bond length is 3.00 Å. In the second Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Sb3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms. Cl1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms.
