Materials Data on Ca2GeO4 by Materials Project

Ca2GeO4 is (La,Ba)CuO4 structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.69 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing GeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°. There is four shorter (1.90 Å) and two longer (1.91 Å) Ge–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner, edge, and face-sharing OCa4Ge2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–55°. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to five equivalent Ca2+ and one Ge4+ atom to form distorted OCa5Ge octahedra that share corners with seventeen OCa4Ge2 octahedra, edges with eight equivalent OCa5Ge octahedra, and faces with four equivalent OCa4Ge2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–55°.
