Materials Data on Yb2CoTe2(SO7)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Yb2CoTe2(SO7)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Yb–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.73 Å. Co2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CoO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.03 Å. Te4+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.99 Å. S6+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CoO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 48°. There are a spread of S–O bond distances ranging from 1.47–1.53 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Yb3+ and one S6+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one S6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Yb3+ and one S6+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Co2+ and one S6+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Yb3+, one Co2+, and one Te4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Yb3+, one Co2+, and one Te4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two equivalent Yb3+ and one Te4+ atom.
