Materials Data on Sm3IrO7 by Materials Project
Sm3IrO7 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sm3+ sites. In the first Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.37 Å) and four longer (2.72 Å) Sm–O bond lengths. In the second Sm3+ site, Sm3+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent IrO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids, edges with two equivalent IrO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 37°. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.28–2.55 Å. Ir5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form IrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent IrO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with four equivalent SmO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There is four shorter (1.99 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Ir–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sm3+ and two equivalent Ir5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to four Sm3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OSm4 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Sm3+ and one Ir5+ atom.
