Title: Materials Data on BaLaI5 by Materials Project

Abstract

BaLaI5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to seven I1- atoms to form BaI7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent LaI6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent LaI6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent BaI7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 2–39°. There are a spread of Ba–I bond distances ranging from 3.41–3.80 Å. La3+ is bonded to six I1- atoms to form LaI6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent LaI6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent BaI7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent BaI7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 36°. There are a spread of La–I bond distances ranging from 3.10–3.20 Å. There are three inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ba2+ and one La3+ atom. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one La3+ atom. In the third I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+ and two equivalent La3+ atoms.
