Materials Data on Sr2Ce2YCoCu2O11 by Materials Project
Sr2Ce2YCoCu2O11 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Ima2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.44–3.05 Å. Ce+3.50+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.27–2.56 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.38 Å) and four longer (2.39 Å) Y–O bond lengths. Co4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CoO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CuO5 square pyramids and corners with two equivalent CoO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–O bond distances ranging from 1.83–1.96 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids and a cornercorner with one CoO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.36 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Sr2+, one Co4+, and one Cu2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent Ce+3.50+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ce+3.50+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe2Y2 tetrahedra. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent Ce+3.50+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Ce+3.50+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OCe2Y2 tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Sr2+ and two equivalent Co4+ atoms to form distorted corner-sharing OSr2Co2 tetrahedra.
