Materials Data on CsYbI3 by Materials Project
CsYbI3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight I1- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–I bond distances ranging from 3.90–4.21 Å. Yb2+ is bonded to six I1- atoms to form corner-sharing YbI6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 18–23°. There are two shorter (3.13 Å) and four longer (3.14 Å) Yb–I bond lengths. There are two inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Yb2+ atoms. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent Yb2+ atoms.
