Materials Data on BSbO3 by Materials Project

Abstract

BSbO3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of two BSbO3 sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.37–1.40 Å. Sb3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.01–2.03 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom.
