چکیده
Fins. I and z: FIG. I (left). Calculated mean quadratic elongation (h)-bond angle variance (~) distributions for four ideal types of distortion in coordination octahedra arising from the progressive shortening of the octahedral edges emphasized in insets a, b, c, and d: RGR, trend line for observed data (Robinson et al., I97I). FIG. 2 (right). Calculated mean quadratic elongation (;~)-bond angle variance (~-*) distributions for two ideal types of distortion in coordination tetrahedra.

Ellipsoidal analysis of coordination polyhedra
The idea of the coordination polyhedron is essential to understanding chemical structure. Simple polyhedra in crystalline compounds are often deformed due to structural complexity or electronic instabilities so distortion analysis methods are useful. Here we demonstrate that analysis of the minimum bounding ellipsoid of a coordination polyhedron provides a general method for studying distortion...
متن کاملTHE PYROPHANITE – ECANDREWSITE SOLID - SOLUTION : CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF THE Mn 1 – xZnxTiO 3 SERIES ( 0 . 1 ≤ x ≤ 0 . 8 )
The crystal structure of members of the pyrophanite–ecandrewsite solid-solution series, Mn1–xZnxTiO3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.8 apfu), synthesized by ceramic methods in air at ambient pressure, has been characterized by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray-diffraction patterns. All of these compounds crystallize with the ilmenite structure and adopt space group R3̄. The maximum solubility of Zn in MnTiO3 is co...
متن کاملPolymerization of Polyhedra
The geomeffy, bond valences, and polymerization ofhexavalent uranium polyhedra from 105 well-refined structures are analyzed. The Utu cation is almost always present in crystal stnrctures as part of a nearly linear (UOr)z* uranyl ion that is coordinated by four, five or six equatorial anions in an approximately planar arangement perpendicular to the uranyl ion, giving square, pentagonal and hex...
متن کاملBond-length distributions for ions bonded to oxygen: alkali and alkaline-earth metals
Bond-length distributions have been examined for 55 configurations of alkali-metal ions and 29 configurations of alkaline-earth-metal ions bonded to oxygen, for 4859 coordination polyhedra and 38 594 bond distances (alkali metals), and for 3038 coordination polyhedra and 24 487 bond distances (alkaline-earth metals). Bond lengths generally show a positively skewed Gaussian distribution that ori...
متن کاملData Analysis to Understand Coordination and Topological Environments
Local coordination and topology of ions determine several important properties of materials, including electronic structure, migration barrier, and diffusivity. In this thesis, we employ the Materials Project Database to investigate the coordination preferences of cations and topology of coordination polyhedra in oxides. We calculate the coordination environment preferences of several common ca...
