Materials Data on ThP2O7 by Materials Project
ThP2O7 crystallizes in the cubic Pa-3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Th4+ is bonded to six equivalent O2- atoms to form ThO6 octahedra that share corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. All Th–O bond lengths are 2.30 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with three equivalent ThO6 octahedra and a cornercorner with one PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 6°. There is three shorter (1.53 Å) and one longer (1.59 Å) P–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to two equivalent P5+ atoms. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Th4+ and one P5+ atom.
