Materials Data on MnZn(FeO2)4 by Materials Project
MnZn(FeO2)4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the cubic F-43m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mn2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form MnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Mn–O bond lengths are 2.04 Å. Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent MnO4 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra, and edges with six equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are three shorter (2.04 Å) and three longer (2.06 Å) Fe–O bond lengths. Zn2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. All Zn–O bond lengths are 2.01 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Mn2+ and three equivalent Fe3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OMnFe3 trigonal pyramids. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three equivalent Fe3+ and one Zn2+ atom to form distorted OZnFe3 trigonal pyramids that share corners with twelve OMnFe3 trigonal pyramids and edges with three equivalent OZnFe3 trigonal pyramids.
