Determining the Preferred Value of a Sb-Cl Bond

OBJECTIVES
To determine the preferred value of a Sb-Cl bond length in hexachloro-antimony by generating a bond length distribution from structures in the Cambridge Structural Database.
To examine the outliers in the Sb-Cl bond length distribution and attempt to distinguish those due to error from those that happen to be an interesting new discovery like a very short bond length.
