Materials Data on LaV3TeO15 by Materials Project
LaV3TeO15 crystallizes in the monoclinic Cc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. La is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O atoms. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.45–2.52 Å. There are three inequivalent V sites. In the first V site, V is bonded to four O atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.83 Å. In the second V site, V is bonded to four O atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.83 Å. In the third V site, V is bonded to four O atoms to form VO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent TeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.66–1.83 Å. Te is bonded to six O atoms to form TeO6 octahedra that share corners with six VO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Te–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.95 Å. There are fifteen inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La and one V atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one La and one V atom.
