Materials Data on Hg4SbO6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Hg4SbO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two Hg4SbO6 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. there are two inequivalent Hg+1.75+ sites. In the first Hg+1.75+ site, Hg+1.75+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Hg–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.30 Å. In the second Hg+1.75+ site, Hg+1.75+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two O2- atoms. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.27 Å) Hg–O bond lengths. Sb5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (2.11 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg+1.75+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Hg+1.75+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Hg+1.75+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Hg+1.75+ and one Sb5+ atom.
