BiOF is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Bi(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent F(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
BiOF is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Bi(1) is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O(1) and five equivalent F(1) atoms. All Bi(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 2.27 Å. There is one shorter (2.72 Å) and four longer (2.78 Å) Bi(1)-F(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded to four equivalent Bi(1) atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. F(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Bi(1) atoms.
