Materials Data on TmSbO4 by Materials Project
TmSbO4 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 2.20–2.89 Å. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tm–O bond distances ranging from 2.16–2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent Sb5+ sites. In the first Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–50°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.04 Å. In the second Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–50°. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.04 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Tm3+ and two Sb5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Tm3+ and two Sb5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Tm3+ and two Sb5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Tm3+ and two Sb5+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Tm3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Tm3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Tm3+ and one Sb5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Tm3+ and one Sb5+ atom.
