Materials Data on Bi(CO2)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Bi(CO2)3 crystallizes in the trigonal P3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent C3+ sites. In the first C3+ site, C3+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.23 Å) and one longer (1.25 Å) C–O bond length. In the second C3+ site, C3+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.23 Å) and one longer (1.25 Å) C–O bond length. In the third C3+ site, C3+ is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.23 Å) and one longer (1.25 Å) C–O bond length. There are three inequivalent Bi3+ sites. In the first Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.42–2.92 Å. In the second Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.90 Å. In the third Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.96 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and one Bi3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one C3+ and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms.
