The alpha ReO₃ (D0₉) Structure

Last modified 5 April 2001

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.

This structure is just the Perovskite structure without the calcium atoms. To see this, shift the origin to (½ a , ½ a , ½ a).

• Prototype: alpha-ReO₃
• Pearson Symbol: cP4
• Strukturbericht Designation: D0₉
• Space Group: Pm(-3)m (Cartesian and lattice coordinate listings available)
• Number: 221
• Other Elements with this Structure: Cu₃N, O₃W, O₃U
• Primitive Vectors:
  • A₁ = a X
  • A₂ = a Y
  • A₃ = a Z
• Basis Vectors:
  • B₁ = 0   (Re)   (1a)
  • B₂ = ½ A₁ = ½ a X   (O)   (3d)
  • B₃ = ½ A₂ = ½ a Y   (O)   (3d)
  • B₄ = ½ A₃ = ½ a Z   (O)   (3d)

See these vectors in a better notation.
