Materials Data on CeTaTiO6 by Materials Project
CeTiTaO6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pna2_1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.56 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TaO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one TaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 28–47°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–2.20 Å. Ta5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TaO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 28–47°. There are a spread of Ta–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.18 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Ce3+, one Ti4+, and one Ta5+ atom.
