Materials Data on GdBrO2 by Materials Project
GdO2Br crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Gd is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O and three equivalent Br atoms. There are a spread of Gd–O bond distances ranging from 2.31–2.35 Å. There are one shorter (3.15 Å) and two longer (3.28 Å) Gd–Br bond lengths. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms. In the second O site, O is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms. Br is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Gd atoms.
