Other compounds with this structure

  • (Ti,Zr)O2 (srilankite)

  • The experimental evidence shows that the Pb site is only 49% occupied, so stoichiometrically this compound is closer to PbO4.
  • This structure has the same AFLOW label as $\zeta$–Fe2N, but in that case the nitrogen site is fully occupied. The structures are generated by the same symmetry operations with different sets of parameters (\texttt––params) specified in their corresponding CIF files.
