Materials Data on CsSm(WO4)2 by Materials Project
CsSm(WO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cs1+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.00–3.52 Å. Sm3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.89 Å. W6+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing WO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of W–O bond distances ranging from 1.84–2.18 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+ and two equivalent W6+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, two equivalent Sm3+, and one W6+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cs1+, one Sm3+, and two equivalent W6+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cs1+, one Sm3+, and one W6+ atom.
