Materials Data on TmAl3(BO3)4 by Materials Project

TmAl3(BO3)4 is Calcite-derived structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R32 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm3+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O2- atoms. All Tm–O bond lengths are 2.31 Å. Al3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing AlO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Al–O bond distances ranging from 1.88–1.94 Å. There are two inequivalent B3+ sites. In the first B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.38 Å. In the second B3+ site, B3+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three equivalent O2- atoms. All B–O bond lengths are 1.39 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Al3+ and one B3+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Al3+ and one B3+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Tm3+, one Al3+, and one B3+ atom.

Materials Data on TmAl3 by Materials Project

TmAl3 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Tm is bonded to twelve equivalent Al atoms to form a mixture of corner and face-sharing TmAl12 cuboctahedra. There are six shorter (3.04 Å) and six longer (3.09 Å) Tm–Al bond lengths. Al is bonded in a 10-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Tm and six equivalent Al atoms. There are two shorter (2.76 Å) and four longer (2.81 Å) Al–Al bond lengths.
