Materials Data on Sr3Yb2(GeO4)3 by Materials Project

Sr3Yb2Ge3O12 crystallizes in the cubic Ia-3d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.57 Å) and four longer (2.70 Å) Sr–O bond lengths. Yb3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form YbO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Ge4+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent YbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 51°. All Ge–O bond lengths are 1.79 Å. O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, one Yb3+, and one Ge4+ atom.
