Materials Data on Sr2GdBiO6 by Materials Project
Sr2GdBiO6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.54–3.08 Å. Gd3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GdO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent BiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–33°. There are two shorter (2.28 Å) and four longer (2.30 Å) Gd–O bond lengths. Bi5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form BiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent GdO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 30–33°. There are two shorter (2.15 Å) and four longer (2.16 Å) Bi–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+, one Gd3+, and one Bi5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OSr2GdBi tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr2+, one Gd3+, and one Bi5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Sr2+, one Gd3+, and one Bi5+ atom.
