Materials Data on SrGaF5 by Materials Project

SrGaF5 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–F bond distances ranging from 2.40–2.74 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–F bond distances ranging from 2.55–2.85 Å. There are four inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing GaF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Ga–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.91 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing GaF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There are a spread of Ga–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.98 Å. In the third Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing GaF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There are a spread of Ga–F bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.91 Å. In the fourth Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form corner-sharing GaF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–39°. There are a spread of Ga–F bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.92 Å. There are twelve inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Sr2+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Sr2+ and one Ga3+ atom.
