TL;DR: In this article, the antimony trifluoride structure was refined to R 0·072 for 370 reflections, with a distorted octahedral co-ordination around an antimony atom.
Abstract: Crystals of antimony trifluoride are orthorhombic, space group C2cm, a= 4·95, b= 7·46, c= 7·26 A, as previously reported. The structure was refined by three-dimensional least-squares methods, to R 0·072 for 370 reflections. Each antimony atom has three close fluorine neighbours with mean Sb–F distances 1·92 A. These SbF3 units are then linked through three fluorine bridges (Sb⋯F 2·61 A) to form a three-dimensional network, with a much distorted octahedral co-ordination around the antimony atom.

TL;DR: Pits which are probably the sites of dislocations have been produced on the cleavage planes of antimony by use of the CP4 etching reagent as mentioned in this paper, and evidence that the pits probably are at dislocation sites was obtained from density counts on intersecting boundaries and from deformation and annealing studies.
Abstract: Pits which are probably the sites of dislocations have been produced on the (111) cleavage planes of antimony by use of the CP4 etching reagent. Evidence that the pits probably are at dislocation sites was obtained from density counts on intersecting boundaries and from deformation and annealing studies. The Dash etching reagent chemically polishes antimony without producing pits. The Superoxol etch brings out spiral terraced pits and other fine structure.
