Abstract

BaNb3NO7 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted BaO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four NbO6 octahedra and faces with two equivalent BaO6 pentagonal pyramids.

The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–29°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–2.36 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 1.83–2.46 Å. In the fourth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NbO6 octahedra that share corners with three NbO6 octahedra, corners with four BaO6 pentagonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–24°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–2.40 Å. In the fifth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one N3- and five O2- atoms. The Nb–N bond length is 1.79 Å. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.56 Å. In the sixth Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NbO6 octahedra that share corners with three NbO6 octahedra, corners with four BaO6 pentagonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–29°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.82–2.37 Å. There are two inequivalent N3- sites. In the first N3- site, N3- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Nb5+ atoms. In the second N3- site, N3- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one Nb5+ atom. There are fourteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one Nb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Nb5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two Nb5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three Nb5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ba2+ and two Nb5+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OBa2Nb2 tetrahedra.
