Materials Data on SiNi2(P2O7)2 by Materials Project
Ni2Si(P2O7)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 59°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 1.99–2.27 Å. Si4+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form SiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.61 Å) and two longer (1.62 Å) Si–O bond length. 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 three equivalent NiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 49–63°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.61 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent NiO6 octahedra, a cornercorner with one SiO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–57°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.61 Å. There are seven inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Si4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ni2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Ni2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Si4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ni2+ and one P5+ atom.
