Materials Data on Li4Al3Ge3ClO12 by Materials Project
Li4Al3Ge3O12Cl crystallizes in the cubic P-43n space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to three equivalent O2- and one Cl1- atom to form LiClO3 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent LiClO3 tetrahedra, corners with three equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra, and corners with three equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.04 Å. The Li–Cl bond length is 2.61 Å. Al3+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form AlO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiClO3 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All Al–O bond lengths are 1.77 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiClO3 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent AlO4 tetrahedra. All Ge–O bond lengths are 1.77 Å. O2- is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Al3+, and one Ge4+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four equivalent Li1+ atoms.
