Materials Data on Ca(SnO2)2 by Materials Project
Ca(SnO2)2 is Spinel structured and crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form CaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. All Ca–O bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Sn3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent CaO4 tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent SnO6 octahedra. All Sn–O bond lengths are 2.30 Å. O2- is bonded to one Ca2+ and three equivalent Sn3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OCaSn3 trigonal pyramids.
