Title: Materials Data on MgGeO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

MgGeO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with five MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.17 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.24 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with seven MgO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 52–61°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.72–1.83 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Mg2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Mg2+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the third O2-more » site, O2- is bonded to three Mg2+ and one Ge4+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OMg3Ge trigonal pyramids.« less
