The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.33 Å. In the second Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one ZrO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with seven ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.33 Å. In the third Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form corner-sharing ZrO6 octahedra. All Zr–O bond lengths are 2.14 Å. In the fourth Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one ZrO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with seven equivalent ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 40°. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.33 Å. In the fifth Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form corner-sharing ZrO6 octahedra. All Zr–O bond lengths are 2.14 Å. In the sixth Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one ZrO6 octahedra, corners with two equivalent ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, and edges with seven ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids.
