Title: Materials Data on CaGe2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaGe2O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.53 Å. There are two inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–56°. There is two shorter (1.77 Å) and two longer (1.78 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent GeO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 39°. There is two shorter (1.85 Å) and four longer (1.97 Å) Ge–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ca2+ and two Ge4+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCa2Ge2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to onemore » Ca2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms.« less
