Materials Data on TaNO by Materials Project
TaON is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ta5+ is bonded to four equivalent N3- and three equivalent O2- atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing TaN4O3 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ta–N bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.18 Å. There are a spread of Ta–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.18 Å. N3- is bonded to four equivalent Ta5+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing NTa4 tetrahedra. O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Ta5+ atoms.
