Title: Materials Data on Ga4GeO8 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ga4GeO8 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent GeO6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent GaO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 56–70°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–1.90 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent GeO6 octahedra, corners with five equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, and edges with four equivalent GaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.11 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GeO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent GeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There is two shorter (1.86 Å) and four longer (1.98 Å) Ge–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in amore » trigonal planar geometry to three Ga3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Ga3+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OGa4 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ga3+ and one Ge4+ atom.« less
