Materials Data on Li2YAl by Materials Project
Li2YAl crystallizes in the orthorhombic Immm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Y and one Al atom. The Li–Y bond length is 3.34 Å. The Li–Al bond length is 2.63 Å. Y is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Li and four equivalent Al atoms. All Y–Al bond lengths are 3.01 Å. Al is bonded to two equivalent Li and four equivalent Y atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing AlLi2Y4 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 0°.
