Materials Data on Sr5B3ClO9 by Materials Project
Sr5(BO3)3Cl crystallizes in the orthorhombic C222_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Sr2+ sites. In the first Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to seven O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.90 Å. Both Sr–Cl bond lengths are 3.15 Å. In the second Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–3.05 Å. There are one shorter (2.92 Å) and one longer (3.26 Å) Sr–Cl bond lengths. In the third Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.50–2.84 Å. In the fourth Sr2+ site, Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.60–2.88 Å. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.38–1.41 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.39 Å) and one longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Sr2+ and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+ and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Sr2+, one B3+, and one Cl1- atom. The O–Cl bond length is 3.23 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Sr2+, one B3+, and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are one shorter (3.27 Å) and one longer (3.28 Å) O–Cl bond lengths. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Sr2+ and one B3+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to six Sr2+ and six O2- atoms.
