Title: Materials Data on La4Zn3O9 by Materials Project

Abstract

La4Zn3O9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–3.04 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.30–2.95 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn2+ sites. In the first Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 41°. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.10 Å. In the second Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one ZnO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 14–16°. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.35 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent La3+ andmore » two equivalent Zn2+ atoms to form corner-sharing OLa2Zn2 tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent La3+ and one Zn2+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three equivalent La3+ and two Zn2+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Zn2+ atoms.« less
