Materials Data on Li3Cr2(PO4)3 by Materials Project
Li3Cr2(PO4)3 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are three inequivalent Li1+ sites. In the first Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.92–2.42 Å. In the second Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.49 Å. In the third Li1+ site, Li1+ is bonded in a distorted see-saw-like geometry to four O2- atoms. There are a spread of Li–O bond distances ranging from 1.94–2.03 Å. There are two inequivalent Cr3+ sites. In the first Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.08 Å. In the second Cr3+ site, Cr3+ is bonded to six O2- atoms to form CrO6 octahedra that share corners with six PO4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Cr–O bond distances ranging from 1.95–2.08 Å. There are three inequivalent P5+ sites. In the first P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 20–36°. There is one shorter (1.52 Å) and three longer (1.55 Å) P–O bond length. In the second P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 8–44°. There are a spread of P–O bond distances ranging from 1.51–1.57 Å. In the third P5+ site, P5+ is bonded to four O2- atoms to form PO4 tetrahedra that share corners with four CrO6 octahedra. The corner-sharing octahedra tilt angles range from 9–44°. There is one shorter (1.50 Å) and three longer (1.56 Å) P–O bond length. There are twelve inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the third O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted trigonal planar geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one Cr3+ and one P5+ atom. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the seventh O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 3-coordinate geometry to one Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom. In the eighth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cr3+ and one P5+ atom. In the ninth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a linear geometry to one Cr3+ and one P5+ atom. In the tenth O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi2CrP tetrahedra. In the eleventh O2- site, O2- is bonded to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom to form a mixture of distorted edge and corner-sharing OLi2CrP trigonal pyramids. In the twelfth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to two Li1+, one Cr3+, and one P5+ atom.
