Materials Data on CaNdMn2O6 by Materials Project
CaNdMn2O6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmc2_1 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 2.35–2.78 Å. Nd3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Nd–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.65 Å. Mn+3.50+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 24–29°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.01 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, two equivalent Nd3+, and two equivalent Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ca2+, one Nd3+, and two equivalent Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Nd3+ and two equivalent Mn+3.50+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ca2+ and two equivalent Mn+3.50+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OCa2Mn2 tetrahedra.
