Materials Data on La2Fe2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

La2Fe2O5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–2.76 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.64 Å. There are two inequivalent Fe2+ sites. In the first Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing FeO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.18 Å. In the second Fe2+ site, Fe2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form corner-sharing FeO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.08 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three La3+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three La3+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OLa3Fe2 trigonal bipyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent La3+ and two Fe2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Fe2+ atoms.
