Materials Data on BaYBr5 by Materials Project
BaYBr5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded to seven Br1- atoms to form BaBr7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four equivalent YBr6 octahedra, edges with two equivalent YBr6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent BaBr7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 3–37°. There are a spread of Ba–Br bond distances ranging from 3.20–3.43 Å. Y3+ is bonded to six Br1- atoms to form YBr6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent YBr6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent BaBr7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with two equivalent BaBr7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. There are a spread of Y–Br bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.86 Å. There are three inequivalent Br1- sites. In the first Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Ba2+ and one Y3+ atom. In the second Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one Y3+ atom. In the third Br1- site, Br1- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms.
