Materials Data on Al2ZnO4 by Materials Project

ZnAl2O4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. All Zn–O bond lengths are 1.98 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.93 Å. O2- is bonded to one Zn2+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OAl3Zn tetrahedra.

Materials Data on Al2ZnO4 by Materials Project

ZnAl2O4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Imma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent ZnO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.12 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent ZnO6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–58°. There is two shorter (1.80 Å) and two longer (1.84 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent ZnO6 octahedra. There is two shorter (1.91 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Al–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Zn2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Zn2+ and three Al3+ atoms.
