Materials Data on ThV2SeO9 by Materials Project
ThV2SeO9 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.60 Å. There are two inequivalent V5+ sites. In the first V5+ site, V5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.69–1.97 Å. In the second V5+ site, V5+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.68–2.02 Å. Se4+ is bonded in a trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three O2- atoms. There is one shorter (1.71 Å) and two longer (1.77 Å) Se–O bond length. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three V5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to three V5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Th4+ and one V5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Th4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Th4+ and one V5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Th4+ and one Se4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Th4+ and one V5+ atom.
