Materials Data on Fe2Cu2Ge4O13 by Materials Project
Abstract
Cu2Fe2Ge4O13 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 octahedra that share corners with six GeO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.10 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.03 Å. There are four inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–64°. There is one shorter (1.76 Å) and three longer (1.78 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form corner-sharing GeO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (1.77 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra and corners with two GeO4 tetrahedra.
