- This is the pure fluorine end-point of the NaSbF$_{6-x}$(OH)$_{x}$ compounds. Although the replacement of fluorine by OH does not affect the shape of the Sb-(F,OH)$_{6}$ ions, it has a profound effect on the structure, as can be seen by looking at NaSb(OH)$_{6}$ ($J1_{11}$) and NaSbF$_{4}$(OH)$_{2}$ ($J1_{12}$).
