Title: Materials Data on Zn3(PO6)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

Zn3(PO6)2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are two inequivalent Zn sites. In the first Zn site, Zn is bonded to four O atoms to form ZnO4 tetrahedra that share corners with two equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra and corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Zn–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.03 Å. In the second Zn site, Zn is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O atoms. There are three shorter (1.93 Å) and two longer (2.43 Å) Zn–O bond lengths. P is bonded to four O atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent ZnO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.53–1.59 Å. There are seven inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O is bonded in a trigonal planar geometry to two equivalent Zn and one P atom. In the second O site, O is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn and one P atom. In the third O site, O is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to one Zn and one O atom. The O–O bond length is 1.29 Å. In the fourthmore » O site, O is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Zn and one P atom. In the fifth O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to two equivalent O atoms. In the sixth O site, O is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Zn atom. In the seventh O site, O is bonded in a bent 120 degrees geometry to one Zn and one P atom.« less
