a

From reference 38

b

trigonality parameter, τ5 = (β–a)/60. β is the largest bond angle observed, and α is the second largest bond angle.48

c

octahedral quadratic elongation, λoct = Σ16(li/l0)2/6.λoct = 1 for an ideal octahedron. l0 represents the center-to-vertex distance of an octahedron with Oh symmetry whose volume is equal to that of the distorted octahedron with distances li. λ’oct is the octahedral quadratic elongation toward one axis.49
