Materials Data on NaCaAlF6 by Materials Project
Abstract
NaCaAlF6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven F1- atoms. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.84 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six F1- atoms to form distorted NaF6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with two AlF6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent CaF7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent AlF6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one CaF7 pentagonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one NaF6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–56°. There are a spread of Na–F bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.49 Å. There are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to seven F1- atoms to form distorted CaF7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with three AlF6 octahedra, corners with four CaF7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two AlF6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one NaF6 pentagonal pyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–48°. There are a spread of Ca–F bond distances ranging from 2.21–2.47 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded to seven F1-more »
