Materials Data on Y4Al2O9 by Materials Project
Y4Al2O9 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 AlO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent AlO4 trigonal pyramids, and edges with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.39 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 2.27–2.76 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 2.27–2.60 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 AlO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent AlO4 trigonal pyramids, edges with two equivalent YO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one AlO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one AlO4 trigonal pyramid. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.51 Å. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent YO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent YO7 pentagonal bipyramids, a cornercorner with one AlO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–65°. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (1.77 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent YO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid, a cornercorner with one AlO4 trigonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one YO7 pentagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–66°. There is two shorter (1.75 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Al–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Y3+ and one Al3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OY4 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Al3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OY4 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Al3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Y3+ and one Al3+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OY3Al tetrahedra. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Al3+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Y3+ and one Al3+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Y3+ and two Al3+ atoms.
