Materials Data on BiSbO4 by Materials Project
BiSbO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Bi3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.19–2.77 Å. Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. There are two shorter (1.99 Å) and four longer (2.04 Å) Sb–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Bi3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Bi3+ and two equivalent Sb5+ atoms.
