Materials Data on NiSb3(PO4)6 by Materials Project
NiSb3(PO4)6 crystallizes in the trigonal R3 space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ni3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form NiO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. All Ni–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. There are three inequivalent Sb5+ sites. In the first Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.98 Å) and three longer (1.99 Å) Sb–O bond length. In the second Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There is three shorter (1.97 Å) and three longer (1.98 Å) Sb–O bond length. In the third Sb5+ site, Sb5+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form SbO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. All Sb–O bond lengths are 1.99 Å. There are two inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NiO6 octahedra and corners with three SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 27–36°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.49–1.57 Å. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share a cornercorner with one NiO6 octahedra and corners with three SbO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 26–35°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.50–1.57 Å. There are eight inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni3+ and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Ni3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a bent 150 degrees geometry to one Sb5+ and one P5+ atom.
