Materials Data on Ca7Sn6 by Materials Project
Abstract
Ca7Sn6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.17–3.37 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded to seven Sn atoms to form distorted CaSn7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent CaSn6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CaSn7 pentagonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent CaSn6 octahedra, and faces with three equivalent CaSn7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–48°. There are a spread of Ca–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.35–3.53 Å. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven Sn atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.62 Å. In the fourth Ca site, Ca is bonded to six Sn atoms to form distorted CaSn6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent CaSn6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CaSn7 pentagonal bipyramids, and faces with four equivalent CaSn7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–54°. There are a spread of Ca–Sn bond distances ranging from 3.13–3.62more »
