Materials Data on LiBiB2O5 by Materials Project

Abstract

LiB2BiO5 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.60 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (1.87 Å) and two longer (2.42 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.36–1.41 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of B–O bond distances ranging from 1.37–1.42 Å. Bi3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing BiO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.17–2.68 Å. There are five inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and two equivalent Bi3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Bi3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Bi3+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one B3+, and one Bi3+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Li1+ and two B3+ atoms.
