Materials Data on Na3CuBSO7 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na3CuBSO7 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.71 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.86 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CuO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.41 Å. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.35 Å) and two longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–51°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.52 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Na1+ and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry to three Na1+, one Cu2+, and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three Na1+, one Cu2+, and one B3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Na1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Cu2+, and one S6+ atom.
