Materials Data on LiCu5(PO4)2 by Materials Project
LiCu5(PO4)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P1 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.06 Å. There are five inequivalent Cu1+ sites. In the first Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 trigonal pyramids that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with six CuO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.50 Å. In the second Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.07–2.22 Å. In the third Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.56 Å. In the fourth Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form distorted CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.19 Å. In the fifth Cu1+ site, Cu1+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form CuO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with two equivalent CuO4 tetrahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 2.08–2.20 Å. 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 LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six CuO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.58 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six CuO4 tetrahedra, and corners with two equivalent CuO4 trigonal pyramids. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.58 Å) P–O bond length. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded to three Cu1+ and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OCu3P tetrahedra. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one Li1+, two Cu1+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Cu1+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiCu2P tetrahedra. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded to one Li1+, two Cu1+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLiCu2P tetrahedra. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Cu1+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to three Cu1+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to three Cu1+ and one P5+ atom.
