Title: Materials Data on Ni4(PO4)3 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ni4(PO4)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal I-42d space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ni+2.25+ sites. In the first Ni+2.25+ site, Ni+2.25+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, corners with four PO4 tetrahedra, edges with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. There are four shorter (2.02 Å) and two longer (2.10 Å) Ni–O bond lengths. In the second Ni+2.25+ site, Ni+2.25+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra, corners with six PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 58°. There are a spread of Ni–O bond distances ranging from 2.06–2.14 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 six NiO6 octahedra and an edgeedge with one NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 46–47°. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.57 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+more » is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with eight NiO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 47–48°. All P–O bond lengths are 1.55 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ni+2.25+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two Ni+2.25+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to two Ni+2.25+ and one P5+ atom.« less
