Abstract
CaCr2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CaO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent CrO5 square pyramids, corners with five CrO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CrO5 square pyramid. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.33–2.51 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.99 Å. There are four inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.68 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CrO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent CaO6 pentagonal pyramids, a cornercorner with one CrO5 square pyramid, and corners with two equivalent CrO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.87–2.01 Å. In the third Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CrO5 squaremore »
