Materials Data on Fe2O3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Fe2O3 crystallizes in the trigonal P3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Fe3+ sites. In the first Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted FeO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two FeO6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent FeO4 trigonal pyramids, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–49°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.80–2.03 Å. In the second Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form FeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four FeO6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–63°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.02 Å. In the third Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent FeO4 tetrahedra, edges with six FeO6 octahedra, and a faceface with one FeO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.10 Å) and three longer (2.11 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. In the fourth Fe3+ site, Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra thatmore »
