Materials Data on LiCu4(PO4)3 by Materials Project
Abstract
LiCu4(PO4)3 is Esseneite-like structured and crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to eight O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 2.37–2.79 Å. There are three inequivalent Cu2+ sites. In the first Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra and an edgeedge with one CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.60 Å. In the second Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There is two shorter (1.91 Å) and two longer (1.93 Å) Cu–O bond length. In the third Cu2+ site, Cu2+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.97–2.58 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 four equivalent CuO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 54–56°. There is two shorter (1.53 Å) and two longer (1.60 Å) P–O bond length. Inmore »
