Materials Data on Pb3NO6 by Materials Project

Abstract

(PbO)3NO3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of four nitric acid molecules and two PbO sheets oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. In each PbO sheet, there are three inequivalent Pb sites. In the first Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O atoms. There are two shorter (2.37 Å) and two longer (2.38 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. In the second Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O atoms. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.52 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. In the third Pb site, Pb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O atoms. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and two longer (2.50 Å) Pb–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to four Pb atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OPb4 tetrahedra. In the second O site, O is bonded to four Pb atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OPb4 tetrahedra. In the third O site, O is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four Pb atoms.
