Materials Data on TbGd3(PO4)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

TbGd3(PO4)4 is Zircon-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.36 Å) and four longer (2.42 Å) Tb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Gd3+ sites. In the first Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.37 Å) and four longer (2.43 Å) Gd–O bond lengths. In the second Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.44 Å. In the third Gd3+ site, Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.44 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.55 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is three shorter (1.55 Å) and one longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. The O–P bond length is 1.55 Å. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. The O–P bond length is 1.56 Å. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two Gd3+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+, one Gd3+, and one P5+ atom. The O–P bond length is 1.56 Å.
