description: Th8Y2O19 is alpha bismuth trifluoride-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are eight inequivalent Th4+ sites. In the first Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.35–2.55 Å. In the second Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.39–2.47 Å. In the third Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Th–O bond distances ranging from 2.41–2.44 Å. In the fourth Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are seven shorter (2.42 Å) and one longer (2.43 Å) Th–O bond lengths. In the fifth Th4+ site, Th4+ is bonded in a body-centered cubic geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.42 Å) and four longer (2.43 Å) Th–O bond lengths.
