Materials Data on LiNb13O33 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiNb13O33 is Potassium Silver Cyanide-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.54 Å. There are seven inequivalent Nb5+ sites. In the first Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–18°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.23 Å. In the second Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.81–2.41 Å. In the third Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.42 Å. In the fourth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–33°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.29 Å. In the fifth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–34°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.29 Å. In the sixth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.36 Å. In the seventh Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–2°. There is two shorter (1.93 Å) and four longer (2.04 Å) Nb–O bond length. There are seventeen inequivalent O2- sites.
