Materials Data on LiCr4(PO4)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
LiCr4(PO4)3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnnm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to four O2- atoms. There are two shorter (2.63 Å) and two longer (2.72 Å) Li–O bond lengths. There are three inequivalent Cr2+ sites. In the first Cr2+ site, Cr2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form CrO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, corners with five PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one CrO5 trigonal bipyramid. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 62°. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 2.03–2.21 Å. In the second Cr2+ site, Cr2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.57 Å. In the third Cr2+ site, Cr2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CrO6 octahedra that share corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CrO5 trigonal bipyramid, edges with two equivalent CrO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 2.11–2.64 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to fourmore »
