Materials Data on FeCuO2 by Materials Project
CuFeO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra. All Fe–O bond lengths are 2.05 Å. Cu1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. O2- is bonded to three equivalent Fe3+ and one Cu1+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OFe3Cu tetrahedra.
