Materials Data on Rb3DyO3 by Materials Project
Rb3DyO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.68–3.21 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.84 Å) and two longer (3.24 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. In the third Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.93 Å) and two longer (3.22 Å) Rb–O bond lengths. Dy3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form edge-sharing DyO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Dy–O bond distances ranging from 2.13–2.21 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Rb1+ and two equivalent Dy3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six Rb1+ and one Dy3+ atom.
