Materials Data on Fe3O4 by Materials Project

Fe3O4 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Fe+2.67+ sites. In the first Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–16°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.05–2.29 Å. In the second Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 7–16°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.29 Å. In the third Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–15°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.07 Å. In the fourth Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing FeO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 6–16°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.04–2.07 Å. In the fifth Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra. There is two shorter (1.96 Å) and four longer (1.97 Å) Fe–O bond length. In the sixth Fe+2.67+ site, Fe+2.67+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.98 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Fe+2.67+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Fe+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe5 square pyramids. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Fe+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe5 square pyramids. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Fe+2.67+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Fe+2.67+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four Fe+2.67+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Fe+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe5 square pyramids. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded to five Fe+2.67+ atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing OFe5 square pyramids.
