Materials Data on YbYAl6(BO3)8 by Materials Project
Abstract
YbYAl6(BO3)8 is Calcite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Yb3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted YbO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with six equivalent AlO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.37 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Y–O bond lengths are 2.35 Å. There are two inequivalent Al3+ sites. In the first Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent YbO6 pentagonal pyramids and edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There is two shorter (1.86 Å) and four longer (1.95 Å) Al–O bond length. In the second Al3+ site, Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing AlO6 octahedra. There is two shorter (1.88 Å) and four longer (1.94 Å) Al–O bond length. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.36 Å) and two longer (1.39 Å) B–O bond length. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded inmore »
