Materials Data on Na4Zr2Ge5HO16 by Materials Project
Abstract
Na4Zr2Ge5HO16 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.96 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one H1+ and four O2- atoms. The Na–H bond length is 2.56 Å. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.57 Å. Zr+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six GeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.15 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There is two shorter (1.74 Å) and two longer (1.80 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–53°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.82 Å. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and corners with two GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–50°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.81 Å. H1+ is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Na1+ atoms. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to one Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Na1+, one Zr+3.50+, and one Ge4+ atom.
