Materials Data on Na(SeO3)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

Na(SeO3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of two Na(SeO3)4 ribbons oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. Na is bonded to six O atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share a cornercorner with one SeO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one SeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.90 Å. There are four inequivalent Se sites. In the first Se site, Se is bonded to four O atoms to form SeO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NaO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one NaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 73°. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.63–1.86 Å. In the second Se site, Se is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is one shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.63 Å) Se–O bond length. In the third Se site, Se is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O atoms. There are a spread of Se–O bond distances ranging from 1.65–1.85 Å. In the fourth Se site, Se is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O atoms. There is one shorter (1.62 Å) and two longer (1.63 Å) Se–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Na and one Se atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Na and one Se atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na and one Se atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na and one Se atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Na and one Se atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom. In the tenth O site, O is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Na and two Se atoms. In the eleventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom. In the twelfth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Se atom.
