Materials Data on Rb2CeTa6(Br5O)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Rb2CeTa6(OBr5)3 crystallizes in the trigonal P-31c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Rb is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine Br atoms. There are a spread of Rb–Br bond distances ranging from 3.66–3.85 Å. Ce is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O and six equivalent Br atoms. All Ce–O bond lengths are 2.53 Å. All Ce–Br bond lengths are 3.30 Å. Ta is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one O and four Br atoms. The Ta–O bond length is 2.00 Å. There are a spread of Ta–Br bond distances ranging from 2.62–2.77 Å. O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce and two equivalent Ta atoms. There are three inequivalent Br sites. In the first Br site, Br is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Rb, one Ce, and one Ta atom. In the second Br site, Br is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ta atoms. In the third Br site, Br is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb and two equivalent Ta atoms.
