description: CeZr7O16 is Baddeleyite-derived structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ce4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted CeO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids and edges with seven ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Ce–O bond distances ranging from 2.18–2.43 Å. There are seven inequivalent Zr4+ sites. In the first Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share a cornercorner with one CeO7 pentagonal bipyramid, corners with three ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one CeO7 pentagonal bipyramid, and edges with six ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.34 Å. In the second Zr4+ site, Zr4+ is bonded to seven O2- atoms to form distorted ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids that share corners with four ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids, an edgeedge with one CeO7 pentagonal bipyramid, and edges with six ZrO7 pentagonal bipyramids. There are a spread of Zr–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.34 Å.
