Materials Data on BaScZn3GaO7 by Materials Project
BaScZn3GaO7 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3mc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form BaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra, edges with three equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, edges with nine equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent ScO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 3.11–3.15 Å. Sc3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ScO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, corners with nine equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and faces with four equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. There are three shorter (2.08 Å) and three longer (2.24 Å) Sc–O bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ScO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, corners with four equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–58°. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.00 Å. Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ScO6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and edges with three equivalent BaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. All Ga–O bond lengths are 1.88 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Sc3+, and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to three equivalent Zn2+ and one Ga3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one Sc3+, one Zn2+, and one Ga3+ atom.
