Title: Materials Data on ZnCr2O4 by Materials Project

Abstract

ZnCr2O4 is Spinel-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic Cm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are nine inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, corners with four CrO4 tetrahedra, edges with three CrO6 octahedra, and edges with three ZnO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.04 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CrO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six CrO6 octahedra and corners with six ZnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 51–68°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.91–2.00 Å.
