title: Materials Data on La3SmCr2(FeO6)2 by Materials Project

description: SmLa3Cr2(FeO6)2 is (Cubic) Perovskite-derived structured and crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pmm2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Sm3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form SmO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Sm–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–2.77 Å. There are three inequivalent La3+ sites. In the first La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.80 Å. In the second La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.78–2.80 Å. In the third La3+ site, La3+ is bonded to twelve O2- atoms to form LaO12 cuboctahedra that share corners with four equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, corners with eight LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four LaO12 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and faces with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra. There are a spread of La–O bond distances ranging from 2.77–2.80 Å. Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent FeO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–1.97 Å. Fe3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form FeO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent FeO6 octahedra, faces with two equivalent SmO12 cuboctahedra, and faces with six LaO12 cuboctahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–1°. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 1.96–1.98 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+ and two equivalent Cr3+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sm3+, two equivalent La3+, and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sm3+, two equivalent La3+, and two equivalent Cr3+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to two equivalent Sm3+, two equivalent La3+, one Cr3+, and one Fe3+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to four La3+, one Cr3+, and one Fe3+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sm3+, three La3+, and two equivalent Fe3+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Sm3+, three La3+, and two equivalent Cr3+ atoms.
