Title: Materials Data on MgAl2O4 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgAl2O4 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Mg–O bond lengths are 1.96 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.94 Å. O2- is bonded to one Mg2+ and three equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMgAl3 trigonal pyramids.
