Materials Data on SbO2 by Materials Project

Abstract

SbO2 is Fluorite-like structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sb sites. In the first Sb site, Sb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O atoms. There are six shorter (2.17 Å) and two longer (2.29 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. In the second Sb site, Sb is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O atoms. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and six longer (2.43 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Sb atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSb4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Sb atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSb4 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O is bonded to four Sb atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSb4 tetrahedra.
