NaNbO3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. Nb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms.
NaNbO3 is Ilmenite-like structured and crystallizes in the trigonal R3c space group. Na(1) is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six equivalent O(1) atoms. There are three shorter (2.37 Å) and three longer (2.51 Å) Na(1)-O(1) bond lengths. Nb(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form corner-sharing NbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 27°. There are three shorter (1.91 Å) and three longer (2.13 Å) Nb(1)-O(1) bond lengths. O(1) is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to two equivalent Na(1) and two equivalent Nb(1) atoms.
