Materials Data on VPbO2 by Materials Project
VPbO2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/a space group. The structure is three-dimensional. V2+ is bonded in a distorted square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.09 Å) and two longer (2.17 Å) V–O bond lengths. Pb2+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form edge-sharing PbO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Pb–O bond distances ranging from 2.56–2.66 Å. O2- is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to two equivalent V2+ and three equivalent Pb2+ atoms.
