Materials Data on ZnCr2O4 by Materials Project
Abstract
ZnCr2O4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent ZnO6 pentagonal pyramids, edges with six CrO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one ZnO6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.09 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share edges with six CrO6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent ZnO6 pentagonal pyramids. There are two shorter (1.98 Å) and four longer (2.04 Å) Cr–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Zn2+ sites. In the first Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted ZnO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent CrO6 octahedra and edges with six CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 5–18°. There are two shorter (2.05 Å) and four longer (2.32 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. In the second Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.08 Å) and four longer (2.32 Å)more »
