Materials Data on Sr2LaTi2Nb3O15 by Materials Project
Sr2LaTi2Nb3O15 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbam space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.69–3.20 Å. La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with two equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent NbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.71 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four NbO6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 9–45°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.01 Å. There are two inequivalent Nb5+ sites. In the first Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with three equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with three NbO6 octahedra, and faces with two equivalent LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–45°. There are a spread of Nb–O bond distances ranging from 1.98–2.03 Å. In the second Nb5+ site, Nb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra and corners with four NbO6 octahedra.
