Materials Data on KY(CuO2)2 by Materials Project
KY(CuO2)2 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded to eight equivalent O2- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing KO8 hexagonal bipyramids. All K–O bond lengths are 2.90 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Y–O bond lengths are 2.41 Å. Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.95 Å. O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, two equivalent Y3+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms.
