Materials Data on CeBrO by Materials Project
CeOBr is Matlockite structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one CeOBr sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Ce3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- and four equivalent Br1- atoms. All Ce–O bond lengths are 2.35 Å. All Ce–Br bond lengths are 3.26 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Ce3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe4 tetrahedra. Br1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ce3+ atoms.
