title: Materials Data on Rb2Ga2Ge3O10 by Materials Project

description: Rb2Ga2Ge3O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Rb1+ sites. In the first Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.93–3.48 Å. In the second Rb1+ site, Rb1+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Rb–O bond distances ranging from 2.95–3.43 Å. There are two inequivalent Ga3+ sites. In the first Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.87 Å. In the second Ga3+ site, Ga3+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GaO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four GeO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ga–O bond distances ranging from 1.85–1.87 Å. There are four inequivalent Ge4+ sites. In the first Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra and corners with three GaO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.76–1.81 Å. In the second Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (1.80 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the third Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent GaO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent GeO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.76 Å) and two longer (1.80 Å) Ge–O bond length. In the fourth Ge4+ site, Ge4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form GeO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one GeO4 tetrahedra and corners with three GaO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ge–O bond distances ranging from 1.75–1.81 Å. There are ten inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rb1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to three equivalent Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rb1+ and two Ge4+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to two Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Rb1+, one Ga3+, and one Ge4+ atom.
