Title: Materials Data on Ba2Cu(PO3)6 by Materials Project

Abstract

Ba2Cu(PO3)6 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Ba2+ sites. In the first Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded to eight O2- atoms to form distorted BaO8 hexagonal bipyramids that share corners with seven PO4 tetrahedra, an edgeedge with one BaO8 hexagonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.75–3.13 Å. In the second Ba2+ site, Ba2+ is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to nine O2- atoms. There are a spread of Ba–O bond distances ranging from 2.64–3.14 Å. Cu2+ is bonded to five O2- atoms to form distorted CuO5 trigonal bipyramids that share corners with five PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.93–2.36 Å. There are six 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 BaO8 hexagonal bipyramids, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, and a cornercorner with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.63 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4more » tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent BaO8 hexagonal bipyramids and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. There is two shorter (1.51 Å) and two longer (1.62 Å) P–O bond length. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two PO4 tetrahedra and a cornercorner with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.48–1.61 Å. In the fourth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two PO4 tetrahedra and corners with two equivalent CuO5 trigonal bipyramids. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.62 Å. In the fifth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one BaO8 hexagonal bipyramid, corners with two PO4 tetrahedra, a cornercorner with one CuO5 trigonal bipyramid, and an edgeedge with one BaO8 hexagonal bipyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.62 Å. In the sixth P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent BaO8 hexagonal bipyramids and corners with two PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.62 Å. There are eighteen inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Cu2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 120 degrees geometry to one Ba2+ and two P5+ atoms. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the thirteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two P5+ atoms. In the fifteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two equivalent Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventeenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to one Ba2+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighteenth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to two Ba2+ and one P5+ atom.« less
