Materials Data on Bi3O2F5 by Materials Project
Bi3O2F5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Bi3+ sites. In the first Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent O2- and six F1- atoms. There are one shorter (2.26 Å) and one longer (2.36 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Bi–F bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.84 Å. In the second Bi3+ site, Bi3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and four F1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.35 Å) and two longer (2.44 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. There are a spread of Bi–F bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.66 Å. O2- is bonded to four Bi3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. There are three inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four Bi3+ atoms. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Bi3+ atoms.
