In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted CaF6 octahedra that share corners with six CrF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 29–61°. There are a spread of Ca–F bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.42 Å. There are three inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CrF6 octahedra that share corners with three CaF6 octahedra and corners with three CrF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–61°. There are a spread of Cr–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.99 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CrF6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent CaF6 octahedra and corners with three CrF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 25–60°. There are a spread of Cr–F bond distances ranging from 1.92–1.99 Å. In the third Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CrF6 octahedra that share corners with three CaF6 octahedra and corners with three CrF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–61°. There are a spread of Cr–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–1.96 Å. There are fourteen inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Ca2+, and one Cr3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two K1+, one Ca2+, and one Cr3+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two Cr3+ atoms.
