Title: Materials Data on CaAlH5 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaAlH5 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ca2+ sites. In the first Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten H1- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–H bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.55 Å. In the second Ca2+ site, Ca2+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten H1- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–H bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.56 Å. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six H1- atoms to form corner-sharing AlH6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–46°. There are a spread of Al–H bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.86 Å. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six H1- atoms to form corner-sharing AlH6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–46°. There are a spread of Al–H bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.78 Å. There are ten inequivalent H1- sites. In the first H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the second H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In themore » third H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the fourth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the fifth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the sixth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the seventh H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the eighth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ca2+ and two Al3+ atoms. In the ninth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to three Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom. In the tenth H1- site, H1- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to two Ca2+ and one Al3+ atom.« less
