Materials Data on BaNd2Cu(MoO4)4 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaNd2Cu(MoO4)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.06 Å. Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.56 Å. There are two inequivalent Mo+5.75+ sites. In the first Mo+5.75+ site, Mo+5.75+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.89 Å. In the second Mo+5.75+ site, Mo+5.75+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Mo–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–1.84 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.50 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Nd3+, and one Mo+5.75+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Nd3+ and one Mo+5.75+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Nd3+ and one Mo+5.75+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Mo+5.75+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Nd3+ and one Mo+5.75+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Mo+5.75+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba2+, one Mo+5.75+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Nd3+, and one Mo+5.75+ atom.
