Materials Data on CuBi2(SeO3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

CuBi2(SeO3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.94 Å) and two longer (1.96 Å) Cu–O bond length. Bi3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–3.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Se4+ sites. In the first Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.77 Å. In the second Se4+ site, Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.73 Å) and one longer (1.77 Å) Se–O bond length. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Bi3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Bi3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Bi3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+, one Bi3+, and one Se4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Bi3+ and one Se4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one Se4+ atom.
