title: Materials Data on Cs2GeO3 by Materials Project

description: Cs2GeO3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are six inequivalent Cs1+ sites. In the first Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.32 Å. In the second Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 7-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 2.99–3.18 Å. In the third Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 2.97–3.31 Å. In the fourth Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CsO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one CsO6 pentagonal pyramid, and an edgeedge with one GeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.21 Å. In the fifth Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CsO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with three GeO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one CsO6 pentagonal pyramid, edges with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CsO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.05–3.35 Å. In the sixth Cs1+ site, Cs1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cs–O bond distances ranging from 3.06–3.67 Å. There are three inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent CsO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with two GeO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CsO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one CsO5 trigonal bipyramid. There is two shorter (1.75 Å) and two longer (1.84 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CsO6 pentagonal pyramid, corners with two GeO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CsO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.74–1.84 Å. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two GeO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CsO5 trigonal bipyramid, and edges with two equivalent CsO6 pentagonal pyramids. There is two shorter (1.75 Å) and two longer (1.84 Å) Ge–O bond length. There are nine inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to four Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to four Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two Cs1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Cs1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to five Cs1+ and one Ge4+ atom.
