Materials Data on Ti4SnO10 by Materials Project
Ti4SnO10 is Hydrophilite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are five inequivalent Ti4+ sites. In the first Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with eight TiO6 octahedra, an edgeedge with one TiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–52°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.05 Å. In the second Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with eight TiO6 octahedra and edges with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–50°. There are four shorter (1.96 Å) and two longer (2.04 Å) Ti–O bond lengths. In the third Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent SnO6 octahedra, and edges with two TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–53°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.02 Å. In the fourth Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent TiO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent SnO6 octahedra, and edges with two equivalent TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–52°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.00 Å. In the fifth Ti4+ site, Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent SnO6 octahedra, corners with six equivalent TiO6 octahedra, and edges with two TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–52°. There are a spread of Ti–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.10 Å. Sn4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SnO6 octahedra that share corners with eight TiO6 octahedra and edges with two TiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 50–53°. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and four longer (2.08 Å) Sn–O bond lengths. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ti4+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ti4+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to three Ti4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ti4+ and one Sn4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ti4+ and one Sn4+ atom.
