Materials Data on BaGdFeCuO5 by Materials Project

BaGdFeCuO5 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4mm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.80 Å) and four longer (2.93 Å) Ba–O bond lengths. Gd3+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.39 Å) and four longer (2.48 Å) Gd–O bond lengths. Fe3+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted FeO5 trigonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one CuO5 square pyramid and corners with four equivalent FeO5 trigonal bipyramids. There is one shorter (1.87 Å) and four longer (2.03 Å) Fe–O bond length. Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CuO5 square pyramids that share corners with four equivalent CuO5 square pyramids and a cornercorner with one FeO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are four shorter (1.96 Å) and one longer (2.50 Å) Cu–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Ba2+, two equivalent Gd3+, and two equivalent Cu2+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Gd3+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OGd2Fe2 tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, one Fe3+, and one Cu2+ atom.
