Materials Data on LiCrSnO4 by Materials Project
LiCrSnO4 is Spinel-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_322 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SnO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.22 Å. Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent SnO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and edges with four equivalent LiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.05 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with six equivalent CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 53–61°. There is two shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (2.01 Å) Sn–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Li1+, one Cr3+, and one Sn4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two equivalent Cr3+, and one Sn4+ atom.
