Materials Data on Sr5(IO6)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Sr5(O6I)2 crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.63–3.08 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.47–2.93 Å. In the third Sr site, Sr is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.84 Å. In the fourth Sr site, Sr is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form distorted SrO6 pentagonal pyramids that share edges with three equivalent IO6 octahedra. All Sr–O bond lengths are 2.45 Å. There are six inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 1.93 Å. In the second O site, O is bonded to three Sr and one I atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OSr3I tetrahedra. The O–I bond length is 1.92 Å. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Sr and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 1.91 Å. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 1.89 Å. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sr and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 1.90 Å. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Sr and one I atom. The O–I bond length is 1.93 Å. There are three inequivalent I sites. In the first I site, I is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O atoms. In the second I site, I is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six equivalent O atoms. In the third I site, I is bonded to six O atoms to form IO6 octahedra that share an edgeedge with one SrO6 pentagonal pyramid.
