Materials Data on GdVO3 by Materials Project
GdVO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.74 Å. V3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing VO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 34–36°. There are four shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) V–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Gd3+ and two equivalent V3+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OGd2V2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Gd3+ and two equivalent V3+ atoms.
