Materials Data on Ce3Th2O9 by Materials Project

Th2Ce3O9 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Th4+ sites. In the first Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.53 Å. In the second Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.55 Å. There are three inequivalent Ce+3.33+ sites. In the first Ce+3.33+ site, Ce+3.33+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.51 Å. In the second Ce+3.33+ site, Ce+3.33+ is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.37 Å. In the third Ce+3.33+ site, Ce+3.33+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.50 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Th4+ and three Ce+3.33+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCe3Th tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Th4+ and one Ce+3.33+ atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCeTh3 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Th4+ and one Ce+3.33+ atom to form OCeTh3 tetrahedra that share corners with fifteen OCe3Th tetrahedra and edges with six OCeTh3 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Th4+ and three Ce+3.33+ atoms to form distorted OCe3Th tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OCe3Th tetrahedra and edges with four OCeTh3 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Th4+ and one Ce+3.33+ atom to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCeTh3 tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Th4+ and three Ce+3.33+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe3Th tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Th4+ and one Ce+3.33+ atom to form OCeTh3 tetrahedra that share corners with fifteen OCe3Th tetrahedra and edges with six OCeTh3 tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Th4+ and three Ce+3.33+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe3Th tetrahedra. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ce+3.33+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe4 tetrahedra.
