Title: Materials Data on Ba2(CaAl3)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba2(CaAl3)3 is Bergman Structure: Mg32(Al,Zn)49 Bergman-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba sites. In the first Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ca and nine Al atoms. All Ba–Ca bond lengths are 3.83 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Al bond distances ranging from 3.70–3.96 Å. In the second Ba site, Ba is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Ca and ten Al atoms. The Ba–Ca bond length is 3.60 Å. There are a spread of Ba–Al bond distances ranging from 3.36–3.49 Å. There are three inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to four Ca and twelve Al atoms. There are one shorter (3.46 Å) and three longer (3.55 Å) Ca–Ca bond lengths. There are a spread of Ca–Al bond distances ranging from 3.26–3.40 Å. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to one Ba, three equivalent Ca, and twelve Al atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Al bond distances ranging from 3.27–3.41 Å. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry tomore » three equivalent Ba, one Ca, and ten Al atoms. There are a spread of Ca–Al bond distances ranging from 3.37–3.53 Å. There are five inequivalent Al sites. In the first Al site, Al is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to six Ba, one Ca, and three equivalent Al atoms. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.72 Å. In the second Al site, Al is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four Ba, three equivalent Ca, and three equivalent Al atoms. All Al–Al bond lengths are 2.69 Å. In the third Al site, Al is bonded to one Ba, five Ca, and six Al atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing AlBaCa5Al6 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Al–Al bond distances ranging from 2.81–3.00 Å. In the fourth Al site, Al is bonded in a 11-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba, three Ca, and six Al atoms. There are a spread of Al–Al bond distances ranging from 2.82–2.99 Å. In the fifth Al site, Al is bonded to six Ca and six Al atoms to form AlCa6Al6 cuboctahedra that share corners with six equivalent AlBaCa5Al6 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent AlCa6Al6 cuboctahedra, and faces with nine equivalent AlBaCa5Al6 cuboctahedra.« less
