Materials Data on SrLu2O4 by Materials Project

Abstract

SrLu2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.59–2.83 Å. There are two inequivalent Lu3+ sites. In the first Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–62°. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.28 Å. In the second Lu3+ site, Lu3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing LuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–62°. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.30 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and three Lu3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+ and three equivalent Lu3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OSr2Lu3 trigonal bipyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+ and three equivalent Lu3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OSr2Lu3 square pyramids. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+ and three Lu3+ atoms.
