Materials Data on Cu3OF5 by Materials Project

Abstract

Cu3OF5 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Cu+2.33+ sites. In the first Cu+2.33+ site, Cu+2.33+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing CuOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–58°. The Cu–O bond length is 1.85 Å. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.44 Å. In the second Cu+2.33+ site, Cu+2.33+ is bonded to one O2- and five F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuOF5 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–62°. The Cu–O bond length is 1.86 Å. There are a spread of Cu–F bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.32 Å. In the third Cu+2.33+ site, Cu+2.33+ is bonded to two equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuO2F4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–54°. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.89 Å. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.11 Å) Cu–F bond lengths. In the fourth Cu+2.33+ site, Cu+2.33+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing CuF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–62°. There are four shorter (1.93 Å) and two longer (2.27 Å) Cu–F bond lengths. O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms. There are five inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Cu+2.33+ atoms.
