BiOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. Bi(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BiO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-67°. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
BiOF crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. Bi(1) is bonded to four equivalent O(1) and two equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing BiO4F2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles range from 3-67°. There are a spread of Bi(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.36-2.42 Å. There is one shorter (2.33 Å) and one longer (2.35 Å) Bi(1)-F(1) bond length. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
