Materials Data on LiCuPO4 by Materials Project
LiCuPO4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbcn space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Li1+ is bonded to four equivalent O2- atoms to form LiO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four equivalent CuO6 octahedra, corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, and corners with four equivalent PO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedral tilt angles are 75°. There is two shorter (1.95 Å) and two longer (2.00 Å) Li–O bond length. Cu2+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form distorted CuO6 octahedra that share corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra, corners with six equivalent PO4 tetrahedra, and edges with two equivalent CuO6 octahedra. There are a spread of Cu–O bond distances ranging from 1.90–2.40 Å. P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with six equivalent CuO6 octahedra and corners with four equivalent LiO4 tetrahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 45–74°. There is two shorter (1.55 Å) and two longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded to two equivalent Li1+, one Cu2+, and one P5+ atom to form distorted corner-sharing OLi2CuP tetrahedra. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cu2+ and one P5+ atom.
