Materials Data on YbPaO4 by Materials Project
PaYbO4 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 2.22 Å. Yb3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent O2- atoms. All Yb–O bond lengths are 2.23 Å. O2- is bonded to two equivalent Pa5+ and two equivalent Yb3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OYb2Pa2 tetrahedra.
