Materials Data on Lu(IO3)3 by Materials Project
Lu(IO3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Lu(IO3)3 sheet oriented in the (-1, 0, 2) direction. Lu3+ is bonded in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of Lu–O bond distances ranging from 2.22–2.36 Å. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.86 Å. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.86 Å. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.81 Å. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.85 Å. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Lu3+ and one I5+ atom. The O–I bond length is 1.84 Å. There are three inequivalent I5+ sites. In the first I5+ site, I5+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. In the second I5+ site, I5+ is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms. In the third I5+ site, I5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three O2- atoms.
