Description
Red rod-shaped single crystals of Sm$_{7}$F$_{12}$Cl$_{2}$ (CSD-2126941) with a length up to 0.3 mm were obtained after heating up a mixture of Sm, SmF$_{3}$ and NaCl (as flux) in a sealed niobium capsule to 850 °C and cooling down the product with 5 °C/h after four days.
Sm$_{7}$F$_{12}$Cl$_{2}$ crystallizes in the Ba$_{7}$F$_{12}$Cl$_{2}$-type structure with a = 1004.52(7) pm, c = 394.75(3) pm and Z = 1 (space group: P-6) analogous to Eu$_{7}$F$_{12}$Cl$_{2}$.
