Materials Data on CoTe(PbO3)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Pb2CoTeO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Co4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–18°. There are four shorter (2.13 Å) and two longer (2.14 Å) Co–O bond lengths. Pb2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve O2- atoms. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.61–3.16 Å. Te4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–18°. There is two shorter (1.95 Å) and four longer (1.96 Å) Te–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co4+, four equivalent Pb2+, and one Te4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co4+, four equivalent Pb2+, and one Te4+ atom.
