Materials Data on DyCrO3 by Materials Project
DyCrO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.24–2.71 Å. Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form corner-sharing CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 35–37°. There are four shorter (2.02 Å) and two longer (2.03 Å) Cr–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Dy3+ and two equivalent Cr3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Dy3+ and two equivalent Cr3+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing ODy2Cr2 trigonal pyramids.
