BiOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Bi(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent F(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. F(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FBi4 tetrahedra.
BiOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. Bi(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent O(1) and four equivalent F(1) atoms. There is one shorter (2.26 Å) and two longer (2.30 Å) Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths. There are a spread of Bi(1)-F(1) bond distances ranging from 2.40-2.73 Å. O(1) is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Bi(1) atoms. F(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FBi4 tetrahedra.
