Materials Data on Zr3InF15 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zr3InF15 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr4+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Zr–F bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.15 Å. In3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent F1- atoms. All In–F bond lengths are 2.11 Å. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr4+ and one In3+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms.
