K2O is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. O(1) is bonded to three equivalent K(1) and three equivalent K(2) atoms to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing OK6 pentagonal pyramids.
K2O is beta Vanadium nitride-like structured and crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. There are two inequivalent K sites. In the first K site, K(1) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are a spread of K(1)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.63-2.67 Å. In the second K site, K(2) is bonded in a distorted T-shaped geometry to three equivalent O(1) atoms. There are a spread of K(2)-O(1) bond distances ranging from 2.63-2.67 Å.
