Materials Data on CsMnF3 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsMnF3 is (Cubic) Perovskite-like structured and crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve F1- atoms to form CsF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve CsF12 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight MnF6 octahedra. There are six shorter (3.17 Å) and six longer (3.19 Å) Cs–F bond lengths. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to twelve F1- atoms to form CsF12 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine CsF12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent MnF6 octahedra, faces with seven CsF12 cuboctahedra, and faces with seven MnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 5°. There are a spread of Cs–F bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.29 Å. There are two inequivalent Mn2+ sites. In the first Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six equivalent F1- atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MnF6 octahedra and faces with eight CsF12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. All Mn–F bond lengths are 2.19 Å. In the second Mn2+ site, Mn2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form MnF6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent CsF12 cuboctahedra, corners with three equivalent MnF6 octahedra, faces with seven CsF12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one MnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 3°. There are three shorter (2.15 Å) and three longer (2.19 Å) Mn–F bond lengths. There are two inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four Cs1+ and two Mn2+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to four Cs1+ and two equivalent Mn2+ atoms.
