Materials Data on Y4Ga2O9 by Materials Project
Y4Ga2O9 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Y3+ sites. In the first Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form YO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent GaO4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.38 Å. In the second Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.85 Å. In the third Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.25–2.70 Å. In the fourth Y3+ site, Y3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted YO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one GaO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent GaO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent YO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one GaO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one GaO4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.54 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent YO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid, a cornercorner with one GaO4 trigonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–62°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.88 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent YO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one GaO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–55°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.89 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Y3+ and two Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2Ga2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY4 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Y3+ atoms to form OY4 tetrahedra that share corners with five OY2Ga2 tetrahedra and edges with two OY4 tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OY3Ga tetrahedra. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two Y3+ and one Ga3+ atom.
