Materials Data on Ba2LaNbO6 by Materials Project
Ba2LaNbO6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.74–3.12 Å. La3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LaO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–22°. There are four shorter (2.39 Å) and two longer (2.40 Å) La–O bond lengths. Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–22°. There are four shorter (2.03 Å) and two longer (2.04 Å) Nb–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ba2+, one La3+, and one Nb5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, one La3+, and one Nb5+ atom.
