Materials Data on Mg3Nb6O11 by Materials Project
Mg3Nb6O11 crystallizes in the trigonal P-3m1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Mg2+ sites. In the first Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form MgO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent MgO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent NbO5 square pyramids. All Mg–O bond lengths are 2.11 Å. In the second Mg2+ site, Mg2+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form MgO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent MgO6 octahedra and corners with nine equivalent NbO5 square pyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 60°. There are one shorter (1.99 Å) and three longer (2.02 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. Nb+2.67+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form NbO5 square pyramids that share corners with six equivalent NbO5 square pyramids, corners with three equivalent MgO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one MgO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent NbO5 square pyramids. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.25 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent Nb+2.67+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two Mg2+ and two equivalent Nb+2.67+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal pyramidal geometry to one Mg2+ and three equivalent Nb+2.67+ atoms.
