Abstract

KMgNbO15 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.62–3.18 Å. There are two inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded in a distorted octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.34 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. There are four shorter (2.00 Å) and two longer (2.31 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. Nb is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.15 Å. There are fifteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Nb and one O atom.
