Anastase TiO2 Crystal Structure Unit Cell
SKU: 68763W
Build an anatase TiO2 unit cell with the Indigo® 68673W molecular model kit to show D4h point group symmetry, tetragonal crystal structure, and the photocatalytic properties unique to this TiO2 polymorph. Ideal for solid state chemistry, crystallography, photocatalysis, and materials science courses.
The Indigo® 68673W model kit can build an anatase unit cell structure which belongs to the D4h point group and crystallographic space group I41/amd. It is the most photocatalytically active of the three naturally occurring polymorphs of titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) With four TiO2 formula units per unit cell (Z=4), each Ti4+ ion is octahedrally coordinated by six O2- ions, but the TiO6 octahedra in anatase share edges rather than corners. This results in a more open and elongated tetragonal structure with distinct surface chemistry and photocatalytic properties.
Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (See Skeletal (Orbit/Minit)) that are compatible with every molecular model we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
