Materials Data on BSbO3 by Materials Project
BSbO3 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is one-dimensional and consists of one BSbO3 ribbon oriented in the (1, 0, 0) direction. B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.38 Å) and one longer (1.40 Å) B–O bond length. Sb3+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.00–2.05 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one B3+ and one Sb3+ atom.
