Materials Data on Sb2O3 by Materials Project
Sb2O3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmmn space group. The structure is two-dimensional and consists of one Sb2O3 sheet oriented in the (0, 1, 0) direction. Sb3+ is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.50 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to three equivalent Sb3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent Sb3+ atoms.
