Oxygen ionic crystal radius

Here is the bound energy linked oxygen and hydrogen in the water molecule and g is the distance between O and H in the molecule A,K)n rep is the constant that describes short-range repulsion and zo is a typical radius of this repulsion force a is Madelung s constant, which, as a mle, falls within the range from unit to two (see, e.g., Kittel [177]) is the dielectric constant (which, however, is absent in the case of ionic crystals). Having chosen the pair potential (577), we can now represent the repulsive potential U and the attractive potential V, which enter the Hamiltonian (552), as follows ... 

Shannon and Prewitt base their effective ionic radii on the assumption that the ionic radius of (CN 6) is 140 pm and that of (CN 6) is 133 pm. Also taken into consideration is the coordination number (CN) and electronic spin state (HS and LS, high spin and low spin) of first-row transition metal ions. These radii are empirical and include effects of covalence in specific metal-oxygen or metal-fiuorine bonds. Older crystal ionic radii were based on the radius of (CN 6) equal to 119 pm these radii are 14-18 percent larger than the effective ionic radii. 

Nonbonded radii enable us to rationalize aspects of crystal chemistry that cannot be understood in terms of the ionic model. For instance, it is difficult to understand why silicon is four-coordinated in most oxides. This is unlikely to be because of the radius ratio of the classical ionic model 81 is too small to have four oxygens around it. Six-coordinated silicon is known in certain cases (e.g. SiP207) silicon is octahedrally coordinated in fluorides, although the ionic radii of and F are similar. The reason... 

Two single crystal structural determinations of tris-/5-diketonates have been reported. [Sc(acac)3] shows nearly )3 symmetry45 with monomeric six-coordination. The Sc—O interatomic distance is 2.070 A which would give an ionic radius for Sc + of 0.67 A for six-fold coordination to oxygen. The other example4 is [Sc(trop)3l which shows crystallographic Z>3 symmetry with Sc-0 = 2.102 A. 

Ionic radius. The wide variation of metal-oxygen distances within individual coordination sites and between different sites in crystal structures of silicate minerals warns against too literal use of the radius of a cation, derived from interatomic distances in simple structures. Relationships between cation radius and phenocryst/glass distribution coefficients for trace elements are often anomalous for transition metal ions (Cr3+, V3+, Ni2+), which may be attributed to the influence of crystal field stabilization energies.
