Nb2F5 crystallizes in the cubic Im-3m space group. The structure consists of a Nb2F5 framework. Nb(1) is bonded to one F(1) and four equivalent F(2) atoms to form corner-sharing NbF5 square pyramids. There are two inequivalent F sites. In the first F site, F(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) atoms. In the second F site, F(2) is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Nb(1) atoms.
