SbClO
SbClO is a thermodynamically stable, wide-gap insulating inorganic compound with a versatile structural profile.
About SbClO
SbClO is a distinct inorganic compound characterized by its insulating electronic nature and high thermodynamic stability. As a member of the antimony oxyhalide family, it maintains a robust structural framework that sits securely on the convex hull, indicating favorable formation conditions. Its wide-gap electronic profile makes it a subject of interest for specialized optoelectronic and dielectric investigations. The material exhibits significant structural diversity, with multiple reported configurations across various databases, highlighting its versatile coordination chemistry. This complexity suggests that SbClO could serve as a foundational building block for advanced functional materials where stable, insulating behavior is required.
Key Properties
Cross-validated computational properties for SbClO, aggregated across 3 databases.
Band GapEnergy needed to move an electron from the valence band to the conduction band. Lower or zero values tend to behave more metallic; larger gaps are more insulating or semiconducting.
Energy Above HullThermodynamic distance from the most stable set of competing phases. 0 eV/atom is on the convex hull; small positive values may still be experimentally accessible.
StabilityA plain-language summary of the best reported energy-above-hull result. It reflects whether the lowest-energy structure is on, near, or far from the stability hull.
