Materials Data on CsZnFeF6 by Materials Project

Abstract

CsZnFeF6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form CsF6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeF6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent ZnF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 67–70°. There are a spread of Cs–F bond distances ranging from 3.22–3.36 Å. Fe3+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form FeF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 41–70°. There is four shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Fe–F bond length. Zn2+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form ZnF6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnF6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeF6 octahedra, and corners with six equivalent CsF6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–70°. There are two shorter (2.01 Å) and four longer (2.09 Å) Zn–F bond lengths. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, one Fe3+, and one Zn2+ atom.
