  • The (2i) site, which we show as occupied by fluorine, is actually occupied by a random mixture of fluorine atoms (67%) and OH radicals (33%).
  • 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 NaSbF$_{6}$ and NaSb(OH)$_{6}$ ($J1_{11}$).
