description: Sr2CaNbO6 crystallizes in the tetragonal P-4 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Sr sites. In the first Sr site, Sr is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.93 Å. In the second Sr site, Sr is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight O atoms. There are a spread of Sr–O bond distances ranging from 2.58–2.94 Å. There are three inequivalent Ca sites. In the first Ca site, Ca is bonded to six O atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with six NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–34°. There are three shorter (2.30 Å) and three longer (2.31 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. In the second Ca site, Ca is bonded to six O atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with six NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–35°. There are two shorter (2.30 Å) and four longer (2.32 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. In the third Ca site, Ca is bonded to six O atoms to form CaO6 octahedra that share corners with six NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–35°. There are two shorter (2.29 Å) and four longer (2.32 Å) Ca–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Nb sites. In the first Nb site, Nb is bonded to six O atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six CaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–34°. There are four shorter (2.01 Å) and two longer (2.03 Å) Nb–O bond lengths. In the second Nb site, Nb is bonded to six O atoms to form NbO6 octahedra that share corners with six CaO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 0–33°. All Nb–O bond lengths are 2.02 Å.
