Materials Data on ZnCoF4 by Materials Project
CoZnF4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Co2+ sites. In the first Co2+ site, Co2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Co–F bond distances ranging from 2.09–2.34 Å. In the second Co2+ site, Co2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Co–F bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.34 Å. There are two inequivalent Zn2+ sites. In the first Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–F bond distances ranging from 2.10–2.29 Å. In the second Zn2+ site, Zn2+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight F1- atoms. There are a spread of Zn–F bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.31 Å. There are eight inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the seventh F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra. In the eighth F1- site, F1- is bonded to two Co2+ and two Zn2+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing FZn2Co2 tetrahedra.
