Materials Data on LiEu2IrO6 by Materials Project
LiEu2IrO6 is Orthorhombic Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent IrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–33°. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.19 Å. Eu3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Eu–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.71 Å. Ir5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form IrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 32–33°. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.97 Å) Ir–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, three equivalent Eu3+, and one Ir5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two equivalent Eu3+, and one Ir5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiEu2Ir tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, three equivalent Eu3+, and one Ir5+ atom.
