Materials Data on CaH12(IO6)2 by Materials Project
CaH12(O6I)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Fdd2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.46–2.56 Å. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.64 Å) H–O bond length. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to two O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.00 Å) and one longer (1.72 Å) H–O bond length. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 1.00 Å. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.99 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one H1+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.85 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca2+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.83 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one H1+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms. I5+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms.
