Materials Data on CaTm2(GeO3)4 by Materials Project
Abstract
CaTm2(GeO3)4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmme space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.56 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Tm3+ sites. In the first Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TmO6 octahedra that share corners with eight equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.18 Å) and two longer (2.42 Å) Tm–O bond lengths. In the second Tm3+ site, Tm3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.30 Å) and four longer (2.41 Å) Tm–O bond lengths. Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CaO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent TmO6 octahedra, and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–71°. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.73–1.85 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Ca2+ and two equivalent Ge4+ atoms. Inmore »
