Materials Data on Tm2GeO5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Tm2GeO5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.29 Å. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 1.57–2.28 Å. In the third Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 1.56–2.27 Å. In the fourth Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.62–2.09 Å. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.23–1.94 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Tm3+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Tm3+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two Tm3+ atoms.
