Materials Data on Ca3CuIrO6 by Materials Project
Ca3IrCuO6 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.76 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.69 Å. Ir5+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.02 Å) and four longer (2.03 Å) Ir–O bond lengths. Cu1+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.02 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+, one Ir5+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+, one Ir5+, and one Cu1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four Ca2+ and one Ir5+ atom.
