Materials Data on TbTaO4 by Materials Project
TbTaO4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tb3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Tb–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.86 Å. Ta5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing TaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 37–47°. There are a spread of Ta–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.07 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Tb3+ and two equivalent Ta5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Tb3+ and two equivalent Ta5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Tb3+ and one Ta5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Tb3+ and one Ta5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OTb3Ta tetrahedra.
