CaF3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ca(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CaF12 cuboctahedra. F(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) atoms.
CaF3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Ca(1) is bonded to twelve equivalent F(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing CaF12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (2.47 Å) and six longer (2.62 Å) Ca(1)-F(1) bond lengths. F(1) is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent Ca(1) atoms.
