Materials Data on MnCr(PO4)2 by Materials Project
CrMn(PO4)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr4+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent MnO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.10 Å. Mn2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted MnO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 49°. There are a spread of Mn–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.28 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 a cornercorner with one MnO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one MnO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 43–54°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.52–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one CrO6 octahedra, corners with three equivalent MnO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–56°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.58 Å. There are six inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cr4+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mn2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Cr4+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Cr4+, one Mn2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cr4+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Mn2+ and one P5+ atom.
