Materials Data on Ca2YSbO5 by Materials Project
Ca2YSbO5 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.69 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CaO4 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SbO5 square pyramid, corners with four YO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CaO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.35 Å. In the third Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CaO4 trigonal pyramids that share a cornercorner with one SbO5 square pyramid, corners with four YO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CaO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.35 Å. In the fourth Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.66 Å. There are two inequivalent Y3+ sites. In the first Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form YO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent YO4 tetrahedra and corners with four CaO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.25 Å. In the second Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form YO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one SbO5 square pyramid, corners with two equivalent YO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four CaO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.25 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb3+ sites. In the first Sb3+ site, Sb3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted SbO5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one YO4 tetrahedra and corners with two CaO4 trigonal pyramids.
