Materials Data on MgFeO3 by Materials Project
MgFeO3 is Orthorhombic Perovskite structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Mg is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.66 Å. Fe is bonded to six O atoms to form corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 40–42°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–1.99 Å. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to two equivalent Mg and two equivalent Fe atoms to form corner-sharing OMg2Fe2 trigonal pyramids. In the second O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Mg and two equivalent Fe atoms.
