Materials Data on Rb2BeF4 by Materials Project
Rb2BeF4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 2.83–3.21 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to ten F1- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–F bond distances ranging from 2.92–3.22 Å. Be2+ is bonded in a tetrahedral geometry to four F1- atoms. There are a spread of Be–F bond distances ranging from 1.56–1.58 Å. There are four inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Be2+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Be2+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Rb1+ and one Be2+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Rb1+ and one Be2+ atom.
