Ionic Compounds anion cation Ceramics
Radius Ratio Rules sites occur within close-packed arrays common in ionic compounds if rc is smaller than fRA, then the space is too big and the structure is unstable
Summary: Sites in HCP & CCP 2 tetrahedral sites / close-packed atom 1 octahedral site / close-packed atom sites are located between layers: number of sites/atom same for ABAB & ABCABC
Common Ionic Structure Types • Rock salt (NaCl) sometimes also ‘Halite’ • Derive from cubic-close packed array of Cl- • Zinc blende (ZnS) • Derive from cubic-close packed array of S= • Fluorite (CaF2) • Derive from cubic-close packed array of Ca2+ • Cesium chloride (CsCl) • Not derived from a close-packed array • Complex oxides • Multiple cations
Example: CaF2 (Fluorite) • F- ~ 1.3 Å; Ca2+ ~ 1.0 Å; • rc/RA = 0.77 • Ca2+ is big enough for CN = 8 • But there are no 8-fold sites in close-packed arrays • Consider structure as CCP cations • F- in tetrahedral sites • RA /rc> 1 fluorine could have higher CN than 4 • Ca:F = 1:2 all tetrahedral sites filled • Places Ca2+ in site of CN = 8 • Why CCP not HCP? - same reason as NaCl
Fluorite Ca2+ F- CN(F-) = 4 CN(Ca2+) = 8 [target]
CsCl • Cl- ~ 1.8 Å; Cs+ ~ 1.7 Å; • rc/RA = 0.94 • Cs+ is big enough for CN = 8 • But there are no 8-fold sites in close-packed arrays • CsCl unrelated to close-packed structures • Simple cubic array of anions • Cs+ in cuboctahedral sites • RA /rc> 1 chlorine ideally also has large CN • Ca:Cl = 1:1 all sites filled
Cesium Chloride Cl- 1 Cs+/unit cell 1 Cl-/unit cell CN(Cs) = 8 Cs+
Why do ionic solids stay bonded? • Pair: attraction only • Solid: repulsion between like charges • Net effect? Compute sum for overall all possible pairs Madelung Energy Sum over a cluster beyond which energy is unchanged For simple structures Single rij |Z1| = |Z2| a = Madelung constant Can show

Perovskite • Perovskite: ABO3 [B boron] • A2+B4+O3 A3+B3+O3 A1+B5+O3 • CaTiO3 LaAlO3 KNbO3 • Occurs when RA ~ RO and RA > RB • Coordination numbers • CN(B) = 6; CN(A) = • CN(O) = 2B + 4A • CN’s make sense? e.g. SrTiO3 • RTi = 0.61 Å • RSr = 1.44 Å • RO = 1.36 Å above/below A 12 O B RTi/RO = 0.45 RSr/RO = 1.06 http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/shannon/ptable.php

Structural Characteristics • Metals • Close-packed structures (CN = 12) • Slightly less close-packed (CN = 8) • Ionic structures • Close-packed with constraints • CN = 4 to 8, sometimes 12 • Covalent structures • Not close-packed, bonding is directional • Any can be strongly or weakly bonded (Tm)
Diamond vs. CCP 8 atoms/cell, CN = 4 4 atoms/cell, CN = 12 ½ tetrahedral sites filled
Cl Na Avogardo’s # Computing density • Establish unit cell contents • Compute unit cell mass • Compute unit cell volume • Unit cell constant, a, given (or a and c, etc.) • Or estimate based on atomic/ionic radii • Compute mass/volume, g/cc • Example: NaCl • Contents = 4 Na + 4 Cl • Mass = 4(atom mass Na + atomic mass Cl)/No • Vol = a3 • Units =
