Materials Data on La2Ti3O9 by Materials Project
La2Ti3O9 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–3.02 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.92 Å. There are three inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted TiO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one TiO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 44–58°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–2.04 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent TiO5 trigonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.07 Å. In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 61–63°. There is two shorter (1.79 Å) and two longer (1.86 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three La3+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three La3+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to two La3+ and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two La3+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two La3+ and one Ti4+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two La3+ and two Ti4+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two La3+ and two Ti4+ atoms.
