The effect of bond-length distortion on mean bond length for (a) [6]Na+, (b) [10]K+ and (c) [8]Ca2+. The positive correlation indicates that distortion of the coordination polyhedron has a considerable effect on the mean bond length of the constituent polyhedron. The dashed line indicates the predicted effect of distortion on mean bond length for that ion configuration according to the bond-valence curve of the ion.
