Materials Data on Ba4Sn3O10 by Materials Project
Ba4Sn3O10 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmce space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight SnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.14 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.68–2.98 Å. There are two inequivalent Sn4+ sites. In the first Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six SnO6 octahedra and faces with eight equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–13°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.12 Å. In the second Sn4+ site, Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with five SnO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–6°. There are a spread of Sn–O bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.11 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four Ba2+ and two equivalent Sn4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four equivalent Ba2+ and two Sn4+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to five equivalent Ba2+ and one Sn4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OBa5Sn octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°.
