Materials Data on YPaO4 by Materials Project
PaYO4 is Fluorite-derived structured and crystallizes in the tetragonal I4_1/amd space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Pa5+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Pa–O bond lengths are 2.30 Å. Y3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Y–O bond lengths are 2.37 Å. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Pa5+ and two equivalent Y3+ atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing OY2Pa2 tetrahedra.
