Materials Data on BaZr2F10 by Materials Project
BaZr2F10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten F1- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–F bond distances ranging from 2.71–3.01 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to seven F1- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing ZrF7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr–F bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.20 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+ and two equivalent Zr4+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent Zr4+ atoms. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Ba2+ and one Zr4+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one Zr4+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+ and one Zr4+ atom.
