Materials Data on VN3O10 by Materials Project
VO(NO3)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four VO(NO3)3 clusters. V5+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to seven O2- atoms. There are a spread of V–O bond distances ranging from 1.60–2.25 Å. There are three inequivalent N5+ sites. In the first N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.32 Å. In the second N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.32 Å. In the third N5+ site, N5+ is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to three O2- atoms. There are a spread of N–O bond distances ranging from 1.20–1.34 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted L-shaped geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a water-like geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one V5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one V5+ and one N5+ atom.
