Materials Data on NaIO2 by Materials Project
NaO2I crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na is bonded to six equivalent O atoms to form edge-sharing NaO6 octahedra. There are four shorter (2.47 Å) and two longer (2.58 Å) Na–O bond lengths. O is bonded to three equivalent Na and two equivalent I atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing ONa3I2 trigonal bipyramids. Both O–I bond lengths are 2.21 Å. I is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O atoms.
