Materials Data on Ta2PbO6 by Materials Project

Abstract

PbTa2O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ta–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.46 Å. Pb2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.53–2.58 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ta5+ and two equivalent Pb2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ta5+ and one Pb2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta5+ atoms.
