Other compounds with this structure
(Ti, Zr)O$_{2}$ (srilankite)
- (Hill, 1982) states the Pb site is only 49% occupied, so stoichiometrically this compound is closer to PbO$_{4}$. On the other hand, the ICSD entry gives lists 98% occupation, which is in better agreement with the claimed stoichiometry.
- This structure has the same AFLOW label as $\zeta$–Fe$_{2}$N, but in that case the nitrogen site is fully occupied. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (
--params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
