Materials Data on LiTmO2 by Materials Project
LiTmO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Li–O bond lengths are 2.22 Å. Tm3+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing TmO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 15°. There are four shorter (2.22 Å) and two longer (2.28 Å) Tm–O bond lengths. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+ and three equivalent Tm3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi2Tm3 square pyramids.
