Abstract
Al2O3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 19°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.86–1.97 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.78–2.42 Å. In the third Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–52°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.97 Å. In the fourth Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.41 Å. In the fifth Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 52°. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.79–2.01 Å. In themore »
