Title: Materials Data on KFePO4 by Materials Project

Abstract

KFePO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. K1+ is bonded in a 6-coordinate geometry to six O2- atoms. There are a spread of K–O bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.74 Å. Fe2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted FeO6 pentagonal pyramids that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 pentagonal pyramids, corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, and an edgeedge with one PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Fe–O bond distances ranging from 2.02–2.59 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent FeO6 pentagonal pyramids and an edgeedge with one FeO6 pentagonal pyramid. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.55–1.57 Å. There are three inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one K1+, two equivalent Fe2+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+, one Fe2+, and one P5+ atom.
