Materials Data on Ce2Y2O7 by Materials Project
Ce2Y2O7 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4m2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.46 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Y–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.46 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Y3+ atoms to form OY4 tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OY4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent OCe2Y2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe2Y2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ce4+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms to form OCe2Y2 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve OCe4 tetrahedra and edges with six OY4 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ce4+ atoms to form OCe4 tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OCe2Y2 tetrahedra and edges with six OCe4 tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ce4+ atoms to form OCe4 tetrahedra that share corners with sixteen OCe4 tetrahedra and edges with six OCe2Y2 tetrahedra.
