named it after the famous Russian mineralogist Count Lev Aleksevich von Perovski.
It can be envisaged as a cubic unit cell with a Ti ion at the center
of the cube, Ca ions at the edges of the cube and the O ions occupying the
mid-points of all the faces. Highlight the O's Hightlight the Ca's Hightlight the Ti's Highlight an O site, CN=6, Ca atoms blue, Ti atoms cyan Highlight a Ca site, CN=12 Highlight a Ti site, CN=6 wireframe Reset Complexes that adopt this structure include.. NaNbO3, LaGaO3, KMgF3 and KZnF3 |
