Description

[H3O][SbF6], Mr=2038.09, cubic, I213, a= 10.120(7)A, V=1036.43A3, Z=8, Dx= 3.265g cm-3, λ(Mo Kα1)=0.70930A, μ= 54.09cm-1, F(000)=928, T=238 K, R=0.059 and wR=0.045 for 288 reflections with F0≥3σ(F0). Antimony lies at the center of a somewhat distorted octahedral array [F-Sb-F=84.4(3), 87.3(3), 92.2(4), 95.6(4) and 171.3(4)deg, with Sb-F= 1.891(7) and 1.854(9)A] of F atoms. Three fluorines are connected to the O atoms through hydrogen bonds as indicated by the F-O distances of 2.622(12)A and the other three F atoms have F-O distances of 2.713(10)A. The six F atoms surrounding the oxygen form a squashed octahedron with F-O-F angles of 108.7(5) and 109.2(4)deg. (orig.)
