Materials Data on Na4Ga3Si3ClO12 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na4Ga3Si3O12Cl crystallizes in the cubic P-43n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to three equivalent O2- and one Cl1- atom to form NaClO3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent NaClO3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, and corners with three equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. All Na–O bond lengths are 2.34 Å. The Na–Cl bond length is 2.72 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaClO3 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra. All Ga–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent NaClO3 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra. All Si–O bond lengths are 1.65 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Ga3+, and one Si4+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Na1+ atoms.
