Title: Materials Data on La2Ga4O9 by Materials Project

Abstract

La2Ga4O9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.34–2.59 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form GaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent GaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–2.10 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent GaO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one GaO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 48–60°. There is one shorter (1.82 Å) and three longer (1.87 Å) Ga–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent Ga3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent La3+ and two Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLa2Ga2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planarmore » geometry to three Ga3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent La3+ and two equivalent Ga3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLa2Ga2 trigonal pyramids.« less
