Title: Materials Data on Al2O3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Al2O3 is Corundum structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R-3c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Al3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of corner, edge, and face-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–60°. There is three shorter (1.87 Å) and three longer (1.99 Å) Al–O bond length. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Al3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OAl4 trigonal pyramids.
