Examples of the capped octahedral molecular geometry are the heptafluoromolybdate (MoF − 7) and the heptafluorotungstate (WF − 7) ions. [3] [4] The "distorted octahedral geometry" exhibited by some AX 6 E 1 molecules such as xenon hexafluoride (XeF 6) is a variant of this geometry, with the lone pair occupying the "cap" position.
Xenon hexafluoride, which has a distorted octahedral geometry. Some AX 6 E 1 molecules, e.g. xenon hexafluoride (XeF 6) and the Te(IV) and Bi(III) anions, TeCl 2− 6, TeBr 2− 6, BiCl 3− 6, BiBr 3− 6 and BiI 3− 6, are octahedral, rather than pentagonal pyramids, and the lone pair does not affect the geometry to the degree predicted by ...

The term "octahedral" is used somewhat loosely by chemists, focusing on the geometry of the bonds to the central atom and not considering differences among the ligands themselves. For example, [Co(NH 3) 6] 3+, which is not octahedral in the mathematical sense due to the orientation of the N−H bonds, is referred to as octahedral. [2]
The Jahn–Teller effect (JT effect or JTE) is an important mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking in molecular and solid-state systems which has far-reaching consequences in different fields, and is responsible for a variety of phenomena in spectroscopy, stereochemistry, crystal chemistry, molecular and solid-state physics, and materials science.
The octahedra are distorted, typical M-O bond lengths are: in terminal non bridging M–O approximately 1.7 Å; in bridging M–O–M units approximately 1.9 Å; The Mo 8 O 4− 26 anion contains both octahedral and tetrahedral molybdenum and can be isolated in 2 isomeric forms, alpha and beta. [2]
Well known examples are the vanadyl(IV) and uranyl(VI) ions. They can be viewed as particularly stable hydrolysis products in a hypothetical reaction such as [V(H 2 O) 6] 4+ → [VO(H 2 O) 5] 2+ + 2H + The vanadium has a distorted octahedral environment (point group C 4v) of one oxide ion and 5 water molecules. [61] Titanyl, TiO 2+, has a ...
For example, in the rock salt ionic structure each sodium atom has six near neighbour chloride ions in an octahedral geometry and each chloride has similarly six near neighbour sodium ions in an octahedral geometry. In metals with the body centred cubic (bcc) structure each atom has eight nearest neighbours in a cubic geometry.
