Materials Data on Cu3BiSe2IO8 by Materials Project
Cu3BiSe2O8I crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- and two equivalent I1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.98 Å) and two longer (1.99 Å) Cu–O bond length. Both Cu–I bond lengths are 3.24 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four O2- and two equivalent I1- atoms. There is two shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Cu–O bond length. Both Cu–I bond lengths are 3.20 Å. Bi3+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Bi–O bond distances ranging from 2.29–2.93 Å. Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.72 Å) and two longer (1.75 Å) Se–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cu2+, one Bi3+, and one Se4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Cu2+ and one Bi3+ atom to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OCu3Bi tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+, one Bi3+, and one Se4+ atom. I1- is bonded in a distorted hexagonal planar geometry to six Cu2+ atoms.
