Materials Data on SrCaTi2O6 by Materials Project
SrCaTi2O6 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sr2+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form distorted SrO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with eight equivalent TiO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.58–3.04 Å. Ca2+ is bonded in a 12-coordinate geometry to twelve O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ca–O bond distances ranging from 2.51–3.04 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent TiO6 octahedra and faces with four equivalent SrO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–19°. There is four shorter (1.97 Å) and two longer (1.98 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent Ca2+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent Ca2+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Sr2+, two equivalent Ca2+, and two equivalent Ti4+ atoms.
