Materials Data on RbHfMg6O7 by Materials Project
RbMg6HfO7 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one RbMg6HfO7 sheet oriented in the (0, 0, 1) direction. Rb is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four equivalent O atoms. All Rb–O bond lengths are 2.91 Å. There are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to five O atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgO5 square pyramids. There are one shorter (1.97 Å) and four longer (2.11 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to five O atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are one shorter (2.05 Å) and four longer (2.12 Å) Mg–O bond lengths. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O atom. The Mg–O bond length is 2.04 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded to five O atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing MgO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Mg–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.13 Å. Hf is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are one shorter (1.89 Å) and four longer (2.11 Å) Hf–O bond lengths. There are five inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded to five Mg atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OMg5 trigonal bipyramids. In the second O site, O is bonded to four equivalent Rb and one Hf atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing ORb4Hf square pyramids. In the third O site, O is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five Mg atoms. In the fourth O site, O is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Mg and two equivalent Hf atoms. In the fifth O site, O is bonded to five Mg atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OMg5 trigonal bipyramids.
