Materials Data on Zr2(SO6)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zr2(SO6)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zr is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.12–2.28 Å. There are two inequivalent S sites. In the first S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There is two shorter (1.47 Å) and two longer (1.50 Å) S–O bond length. In the second S site, S is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O atoms. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.44–1.51 Å. There are nine inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr and one S atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr and one S atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr and one S atom. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zr atom. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zr atoms. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zr atom. In the eighth O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr and one S atom. In the ninth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one S atom.
