Title: Materials Data on CaAl2O4 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaAl2O4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–3.00 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.71 Å. There are four inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.77 Å) and one longer (1.79 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.77 Å) and one longer (1.79 Å) Al–O bond length. In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. There is one shorter (1.77 Å) and three longer (1.78 Å) Al–O bond length. In the fourth Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing AlO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging frommore » 1.76–1.79 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry to two Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms.« less
