Materials Data on LiSn(PO3)4 by Materials Project
LiSn(PO3)4 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4_2/nnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form LiO6 octahedra that share corners with eight PO4 tetrahedra. There are four shorter (2.15 Å) and two longer (2.52 Å) Li–O bond lengths. Sn3+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are four shorter (2.35 Å) and four longer (2.45 Å) Sn–O bond lengths. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 73°. There is two shorter (1.50 Å) and two longer (1.64 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO6 octahedra and corners with two equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 45°. There is two shorter (1.51 Å) and two longer (1.62 Å) P–O bond length. There are four inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Sn3+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Li1+ and two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Sn3+, and one P5+ atom.
