GdOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Gd(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing GdO4F2 pentagonal pyramids. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
GdOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fddd space group. Gd(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing GdO4F2 pentagonal pyramids. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and two longer (2.33 Å) Gd(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Both Gd(1)-F(1) bond lengths are 2.29 Å. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Gd(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OGd4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Gd(1) atoms.
