Materials Data on CaAsH5O6 by Materials Project

Abstract

CaAsH5O6 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two CaAsH5O6 sheets oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Ca2+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–3.01 Å. As5+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of As–O bond distances ranging from 1.70–1.79 Å. There are five inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.02 Å) and one longer (1.65 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+, one As5+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+ and one As5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ca2+ and one As5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one As5+, and one H1+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms.
