Materials Data on NaLaTi8(CuO4)6 by Materials Project

NaLaTi8(CuO4)6 crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Na1+ is bonded to twelve equivalent O2- atoms to form NaO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent TiO6 octahedra. All Na–O bond lengths are 2.65 Å. La3+ is bonded to twelve equivalent O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share faces with eight equivalent TiO6 octahedra. All La–O bond lengths are 2.63 Å. Ti4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form TiO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent TiO6 octahedra, a faceface with one NaO12 cuboctahedra, and a faceface with one LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 39–41°. There is three shorter (1.96 Å) and three longer (2.03 Å) Ti–O bond length. There are two inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a square co-planar geometry to four equivalent O2- atoms. All Cu–O bond lengths are 1.97 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one La3+, two equivalent Ti4+, and one Cu2+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Na1+, two equivalent Ti4+, and one Cu2+ atom.
