Suppressing Second-Order Jahn–Teller Distortion of Bi3+ by Smaller Y3+-Substitution in Bi3O4Cl
Controlling local coordination environments of second-order Jahn–Teller (SOJT)-active post-transition metal cations remains a significant challenge due to their inherent preference for asymmetric environments. Previously, we reported that the high-symmetry Y3+ site in layered Bi2YO4Cl can serve as a structural templa...
