Materials Data on KY(NbCl3)6 by Materials Project
Abstract
KY(NbCl3)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to twelve Cl1- atoms to form KCl12 cuboctahedra that share corners with three equivalent YCl6 octahedra, corners with six NbCl5 square pyramids, edges with three equivalent NbCl5 square pyramids, and faces with three equivalent NbCl5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. There are a spread of K–Cl bond distances ranging from 3.53–3.62 Å. Y3+ is bonded to six Cl1- atoms to form YCl6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent KCl12 cuboctahedra and corners with six NbCl5 square pyramids. There are three shorter (2.66 Å) and three longer (2.71 Å) Y–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent Nb+2.33+ sites. In the first Nb+2.33+ site, Nb+2.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form NbCl5 square pyramids that share a cornercorner with one KCl12 cuboctahedra, a cornercorner with one YCl6 octahedra, corners with four NbCl5 square pyramids, and a faceface with one KCl12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 46°. There are a spread of Nb–Cl bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.72 Å. In the second Nb+2.33+ site, Nb+2.33+ is bonded to five Cl1- atoms to form NbCl5 square pyramids that share amore »
