Title: Materials Data on KNb2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

KNb2O5 crystallizes in the monoclinic Pc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent K1+ sites. In the first K1+ site, K1+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form KO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with two equivalent NbO6 pentagonal pyramids, faces with two equivalent KO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight NbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.80–3.10 Å. In the second K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.88–3.04 Å. In the third K1+ site, K1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.06 Å. There are six inequivalent Nb+4.50+ sites.

In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Nb+4.50+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+ and two equivalent Nb+4.50+ atoms. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Nb+4.50+ atoms. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Nb+4.50+ atoms. In the fourteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Nb+4.50+ atoms.
