CuCrO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrO6 octahedra. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cr(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCr3Cu tetrahedra.
CuCrO2 crystallizes in the hexagonal P6_3/mmc space group. Cr(1) is bonded to six equivalent O(1) atoms to form edge-sharing CrO6 octahedra. All Cr(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.99 Å. Cu(1) is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent O(1) atoms. Both Cu(1)-O(1) bond lengths are 1.84 Å. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent Cr(1) and one Cu(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OCr3Cu tetrahedra.
