Abstract
Ca3Er3BGe2O13 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnn2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted CaO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one CaO7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with three ErO7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one BO4 tetrahedra, and faces with three ErO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.52 Å. In the second 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 2.37–2.52 Å. There are two inequivalent Er3+ sites. In the first Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ErO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent CaO7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with two ErO7 pentagonal bipyramids, corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one BO4 tetrahedra, a faceface with one ErO7 pentagonal bipyramid, and faces with two equivalent CaO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Er–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.39 Å. In the second Er3+ site, Er3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to formmore »
