Materials Data on NaCuO by Materials Project
NaCuO crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded in a see-saw-like geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.38 Å) and two longer (2.39 Å) Na–O bond lengths. Cu1+ is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O2- atoms. Both Cu–O bond lengths are 1.85 Å. O2- is bonded to four equivalent Na1+ and two equivalent Cu1+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing ONa4Cu2 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 1–13°.
