Materials Data on CaZrSi3H4O11 by Materials Project
CaZrSi3H4O11 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ca2+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share edges with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra and edges with four SiO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.78 Å. Zr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form ZrO6 octahedra that share corners with six SiO4 tetrahedra and edges with two equivalent CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.14 Å. There are two inequivalent Si4+ sites. In the first Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra, corners with two SiO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CaO8 hexagonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 19–34°. There are a spread of Si–O bond distances ranging from 1.61–1.69 Å. In the second Si4+ site, Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZrO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent SiO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CaO8 hexagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 29°. There is two shorter (1.61 Å) and two longer (1.67 Å) Si–O bond length. There are two inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zr4+ and one Si4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ca2+ and two H1+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Zr4+, and one Si4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Si4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ca2+ and two Si4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ca2+, one Zr4+, and one Si4+ atom.
