Materials Data on Na5Al(HO)8 by Materials Project
Na5Al(HO)8 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_32_12 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Na1+ sites. In the first Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.32–2.39 Å. In the second Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to one H1+ and five O2- atoms. The Na–H bond length is 2.37 Å. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.36–2.49 Å. In the third Na1+ site, Na1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted NaO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Na–O bond distances ranging from 2.43–2.54 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form AlO6 octahedra that share edges with two equivalent NaO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.97 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Na1+ and one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.97 Å. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na1+, one Al3+, and one H1+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to three Na1+, one Al3+, and one H1+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Na1+ and one H1+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Na1+, one Al3+, and one H1+ atom.
