Materials Data on Nb10(SiB)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
Nb10(BSi)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Nb+2.10+ sites. In the first Nb+2.10+ site, Nb+2.10+ is bonded to two B3- and three Si4- atoms to form NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent NbSi3B3 octahedra, corners with twelve NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with seven NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent NbSi3B3 octahedra, and a faceface with one NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–62°. There are one shorter (2.51 Å) and one longer (2.53 Å) Nb–B bond lengths. There are a spread of Nb–Si bond distances ranging from 2.54–2.69 Å. In the second Nb+2.10+ site, Nb+2.10+ is bonded to three B3- and two equivalent Si4- atoms to form NbSi2B3 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent NbSi3B3 octahedra, corners with twelve NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramids, edges with seven NbSi3B2 trigonal bipyramids, faces with two equivalent NbSi3B3 octahedra, and a faceface with one NbSi2B3 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 42–60°. There are two shorter (2.44 Å) and one longer (2.49 Å) Nb–B bond lengths. Both Nb–Si bond lengths are 2.69 Å. In the third Nb+2.10+ site, Nb+2.10+ is bonded to twomore »
