Materials Data on BeZnO2 by Materials Project
BeZnO2 is Chalcopyrite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Be2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form BeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent BeO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra. All Be–O bond lengths are 1.67 Å. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra and corners with eight equivalent BeO4 tetrahedra. All Zn–O bond lengths are 2.00 Å. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Be2+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OBe2Zn2 tetrahedra.
